At Wuhan Three Towns, he will be teammates with Adriano Firmino, a 26-year-old Brazilian midfielder who in the last transfer window left Santa Clara to join the Asian football club.

In 2019/20, the striker was acquired by Benfica, but did not have the chance to debut for the main team. The Venezuelan international forward had three consecutive loans before signing with Famalicão.

In 2026, Jhonder Cádiz - currently valued at 2.8 million euros - played only four official matches, all in the Mexican Clausura championship. In 124 minutes played, the 30-year-old athlete did not score any goals and made one assist.
