Valdix has played in the Elitserien, the highest-level ice hockey league in Sweden, with both the Malmö Redhawks and Timrå IK. [2] After playing the majority of seven seasons with IK Oskarshamn of Swedish second division, HockeyAllsvenskan, Valdix opted to move abroad to the Austrian League, agreeing to a one-year contract with HC TWK Innsbruck on April 25, 2014. [3]

Ahead of the 2016/17 season, Valdix signed for the Sheffield Steelers. After two years with the Steelers, Valdix moved to fellow EIHL side Milton Keynes Lightning in August 2018.

After a season in Milton Keynes, Valdix then moved to Romania to sign for Erste Liga side Gyergyói HK in 2019.

Valdix split the 2020/21 season between Gyergyói HK and German Oberliga side Lippe-Hockey-Hamm.

He then returned to the EIHL and signed a short-term deal with Welsh side Cardiff Devils in October 2021, joining as injury cover for forward Brandon McNally. [4] Valdix departed Cardiff in November 2021. [5]

Later that same month, Valdix signed another short-term deal with former club Sheffield Steelers. [6]

After his short-term deal with the Sheffield Steelers came to an end, Valdix signed for the Steelers' affiliate team the Sheffield Steeldogs in February 2022.
