Club career

After coming through the club's youth development system, Caddis turned professional and began playing for the club's reserve side. [1] After a season with the club, Manager Derek McInnes gave Caddis a chance in the first team and made his debut for St Johnstone in the friendly match in a 1–0 win over against Lisburn Distillery. [2] On 28 August 2010, at aged just 16, Caddis made his debut for the club, in a 2–1 loss against Rangers. [3]

After making his debut, Caddis signed a contract extension to keep him at the club until 2012. [4] McInnes was impressed with Caddis's "composure and ability", though he remained an un-used substitute for the rest of the season. [5]

On 24 November 2011, Caddis joined Scottish Second Division side Arbroath on loan until 5 January 2012. [6] He played his first match for Arbroath just two days later against Airdrie United in a 3–3 away draw. [7] His loan at Arbroath was later extended until the end of the 2011–12 season. [8] In March 2012 proved an impact for Caddis when he scored twice, in a 2–2 draw against East Fife [9] and then made double assist in the next match, on 10 March 2012, as they beat Dumbarton 2–0, to extend their eleven unbeaten games. [10]

After a loan spell with Arbroath came to an end, Caddis signed a one-year contract extension with St Johnstone. [11] Caddis made his first appearance since returning from a loan spell with Arbroath, in the third round of the Scottish League Cup, where he made an assist for the fourth round, in a 4–1 win over Queen's Park. [12] After another loan spell, Caddis signed another one-year contract extension at the end of the 2012–13 season. [13] Shortly after signing a new deal, Caddis was awarded the Barbossa Street Saints Young Player of the Year. [14]

In 2013–14, Caddis made his European debut in the first leg of their Europa League third qualifying round tie when he provided an assist for Steven MacLean, in a 1–0 win over Belarus side Minsk. [15] Having been ups and down in the first team at the start of the season, Caddis came on as a substitute in the 68th minute for David Wotherspoon and scored his first goal for the club, in a 2–1 loss against Celtic on 21 September 2013. [16] After making eight appearances for the club this season, Caddis, again, signed a one-year contract extension. [17]

He joined Cowdenbeath on loan in January 2013. [18] Caddis scored on his debut, in a 1–1 draw against Morton. [19] After making three appearances, Manager Steve Lomas initially agreed to let Caddis Cowdenbeath until the end of the season. [20] However, Caddis return to his parent club instead after it took too long for agreement on both parties. [21]

On 20 December 2013, Caddis signed a 28-day loan deal with Alloa Athletic [22] The following day, on 21 December 2013, Caddis made his debut for the club, in a 1–0 loss against Dundee. [23] After making four appearances so far, Caddis had his loan spell was extended until the end of the season on 17 January 2014. [24] Caddis scored his first goal for the club on 5 April 2014, as they beat Dumbarton 4–1. [25] Caddis left McDiarmid Park in February 2016 in search of regular football, after playing in only five matches during the 2015–16 season. [26] He signed for Alloa Athletic later that month. [27]

In July 2016, Caddis signed for Junior side Ardrossan Winton Rovers, joining his brothers Ryan and Dylan at the Ayrshire club. [28]

After just six-months with the Ardrossan Winton Rovers, Caddis signed for Scottish League Two side Stirling Albion. [29]
