Soul Alidean Kader (Arabic: شاول قادر; born 31 January 2004) is an English professional footballer who currently plays as a striker for EFL League Two club Bromley.

Career

Prior to his senior debut, Kader played for Bromley's youth academy. In 2021, Kader was named on the bench for Bromley's senior side for the first time in an FA Trophy win over Dover Athletic, but was not used in the game.{{Cite web |date=2024-07-05 |title=Soul Kader pens new deal! |url=https://www.bromleyfc.co.uk/news/soul-kader-pens-new-deal/ |access-date=2025-05-12 |website=Bromley Football Club |language=en}} Following a loan at Cray Wanderers,{{Cite web |last=Hunt |first=Mark |title=Cray Wanderers Squad Update – Cray Wanderers sign Soul Kader from Bromley on a month loan|url=https://www.cray-wanderers.com/110981-2/ |access-date=2025-05-12 |language=en-GB}} Kader signed his first professional contract with Bromley in 2022.{{Cite web |date=2022-08-08 |title=Soul Kader pens First Year Pro contract |url=https://www.bromleyfc.co.uk/news/soul-kader-pens-first-year-pro-contract/ |access-date=2025-05-12 |website=Bromley Football Club |language=en}} He was then sent on loan to VCD Athletic, where he scored 11 goals in 22 league appearances.{{Cite web |last=Townsend |first=Ian |title=Kader is new at the Rams- and Oloyede returns |url=https://www.isthmian.co.uk/articles/kader-is-new-at-the-rams |access-date=2025-05-12 |website=The Pitching In Isthmian League |language=en}}

Kader made his senior debut for Bromley in August 2023. However, after making 2 appearances and scoring 1 goal in the National League, he was injured in a game against Kidderminster Harriers.{{Cite web|date=2023-08-19 |title=Ravens secure first clean sheet in Kidderminster draw |url=https://www.bromleyfc.co.uk/news/ravens-secure-first-clean-sheet-in-kidderminster-draw/ |access-date=2025-05-12 |website=Bromley Football Club |language=en}} This injury would rule him out for the remainder of the season, as Bromley were promoted from the National League to League Two. He signed a new contract with Bromley whilst sidelined with injury.
