Club career

Pohronie

Fadera's arrival in Slovak Fortuna Liga club FK Pohronie was announced on the club's website on 6 March 2020. [2] His debut was delayed due to league postponement, caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

He became Pohronie's top scorer in 2020–21 season, tied with James Weir with 5 goals each. [3]

Zulte Waregem

On 3 August 2021, it was announced that Fadera had signed a four-year contract with Zulte Waregem. He was praised for his athleticism and physicality, as well as versatility in the offence. [4]

Fadera and Zulte were relegated at the end of the 2022-23 season, with league runners-up Racing Genk signing him later in the summer.[ citation needed ]

International career

In March 2021, Fadera received a nomination to the Gambian national team for two African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Angola and DR Congo. In line with FIFA regulations, Pohronie decided not to release Fadera for international fixtures due to concerns over COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent quarantine requirements those would rule Fadera out of important relegation group fixtures. [5]

Fadera was selected to represent Gambia at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. [6] He appeared in the opening 3–0 defeat versus Senegal, coming on as a substitute for Ibou Touray in the second half. [7]
