Playing career

Kadirova debuted in the Russian Women's Hockey League (RWHL) with Arktik-Universitet Ukhta during the 2013–14 season. She remained with the team as the league was reconfigured into the Zhenskaya Hockey League (ZhHL) from the 2015–16 season and the team became SK Gorny in 2018.

Ahead of the 2020–21 ZhHL season, she signed with Dynamo-Neva Saint Petersburg.[1]

Kadirova was drafted in the sixth round, 45th overall, by the Ottawa Charge in the 2025 PWHL Draft.[2] On 14 July 2025, both Kadirova and compatriot Anna Shokhina signed one-year contracts with the Charge for the 2025–26 season, becoming the first Russian players to sign in the PWHL.[3][4]

International play

Kadirova has represented Russia at five IIHF Women's World Championships (2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2021) and at two Universiades, winning gold in both 2017 and 2019.[5] At the 2018 Winter Olympics, she participated in the women’s ice hockey tournament with the Olympic Athletes from Russia team.
