Club career
He first played at RC Massy, where he joined the first team in 2007/08. After a season at Racing Métro 92 (2008/09), where he won the French Pro D2, he returned to RC Massy, where he would play from 2009/10 to 2014/15. He has played since then at SU Agen (2015/16-2016/17), CA Brive (2017/18), FC Grenoble (2018/19), ASM Clermont (2019/20), US Montauban (2020/21), and currently plays for USA Perpignan, since 2021/22.[1][2]
International career
Tadjer earned 22 caps for Portugal, with 3 tries scored, and 15 points on aggregate. His debut was a 15-7 loss to Romania on 4 February 2012, in Bucharest, for the Six Nations B.
He was involved in Os Lobos' successful 2023 Rugby World Cup qualifying campaign.[3] He was selected to be a part of the Portugal squad for the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France. In their last pool stage game against Fiji, Portugal claimed a historic first win at the tournament; beating Fiji 23–24. Since Portugal didn't advance to the knockout stages, it was Tadjer's last match for his nation as he announced his retirement from international rugby.[4]
