Jhonder Leonel Cádiz Fernández (born 29 July 1995) is a Venezuelan professional footballer who plays as a forward for Chinese Super League club Wuhan Three Towns and the Venezuela national team.

Club career

A product of Deportivo Petare's youth system, Cádiz made his professional debut in Deportivo Petare's 0–0 Primera División draw against Atlético El Vigía on 29 March 2012.[1] He spent two seasons playing for Caracas FC.

Cádiz was loaned to Portuguese club C.F. União on 3 July 2015.[2] A year later, he moved to fellow Madeira club C.D. Nacional, signing a three-year deal.[3] On 28 June 2019, Portuguese champions Benfica announced that Cádiz had signed a five-year contract with the club.[4] He was then loaned out to Dijon for one season.[5] On 8 September, Cádiz joined MLS side Nashville SC on loan until 30 June 2021.[6] On 29 June 2021, his contract for the U.S. club has been extended.[7] Following the 2021 season Cádiz's purchase option was declined by Nashville and he returned to Benfica.[8] However, Cádiz did not stay at the club, as on 31 January 2022 he signed with Famalicão of the Primeira Liga.[9]

In July 2024, Cádiz signed with the Liga MX team Club León.[10] A year later, in July 2025, he was loaned to the Liga MX side Pachuca, a team owned by the same person as León.[11]

In February 2026, Cádiz signed with Wuhan Three Towns, a team that plays in the Chinese Super League.[12]

International career

On 23 May 2013, Cádiz was called up to the senior Venezuela national team for a friendly match against El Salvador,[13] but he did not play.
