As a youth, Haddad spent time with VV Merwesteijn, Feyenoord and SBV Excelsior, where he signed his first professional contract before moving to AZ.[1] He made his professional debut at first division club Telstar, where he played on loan.[2]

After leaving St Mirren, Haddad then moved to Bulgaria by joining CSKA Sofia until the end of the season.[8] At first, CSKA Sofia confirmed their interest in signing Haddad, having joined them on trial.[9] However, he would make just three appearances before being released by the club.[10]

After six-months without a club, Haddad signed for FC Dordrecht until the end of the season.[11] His debut didn't go according to plan when he came off in the first half of the match, which Dordrecht lost 6–1 against Volendam.[12]

Later on, Haddad played for AS FAR and Raja Casablanca in Morocco.
