Cadogan came through the Crystal Palace Academy [3] where he caused a stir as an effective right winger as his considerable skill and crossing ability made him a formidable opponent for full backs. He became a regular for the Crystal Palace Reserve side and scored his first hat-trick against Lewes Reserves. In a pre-season friendly on 14 July 2008 away to Aldershot Town, Cadogan was tackled in the final kick of the game, fracturing his ankle and was out injured for 11 weeks.
