During the summer of 2015, Kadewere went for trials with Swedish first division club Djurgårdens IF and French Ligue 2 side Sochaux.

He made his Allsvenskan debut on 29 August 2015. He later joined Djurgården permanently.
Kadewere scored his first league goal for the club on 25 July 2016. It was a consolation goal in the 94th minute of a 3–1 home loss to GIF Sundsvall having been subbed on in the 85th minute.
On 27 May 2018, he scored four goals in a league game against IK Sirius, making him the first Djurgården player since Tommy Berggren in 1978 to score four goals in a single league game.
