Career[]

Baradji was in the youth system of US Cergy Clos from the age of 8 until 2012. He then trialled with Elche and signed a contract with the Under-19s. He returned to France after three months to complete his education, joining the Under-19 sides of L'Entente SSG and then Racing CFF.[1][2][3]

A knee injury sidelined him for 8 months, but he joined at level ten in the Franch football pyramid in January 2015, when contacted by a coach he had worked under at Racing CFF. He scored 15 goals in four months, and earned a move four levels up the pyramid to , where he was top scorer in Division d'Honneur with 18 goals in 20 matches.[1][2][3]

For the 2016–17 season, Baradji signed with Boulogne-Billancourt in Championnat National 2. After another good season he was signed by Red Star in June 2017.[2]

At the end of December 2018, Baradji was loaned to Bourg-Péronnas until the end of the 2018–19 season, due to limited first team opportunities at Red Star.[4]

In August 2020, Baradji left Red Star by mutual agreement.[5] Before the end of the same month he signed with RC Grasse.[6]
