Career

Nwadike began his career in the youth ranks at Wolverhampton Wanderers but was snubbed a professional contract and was snapped up by Shrewsbury Town in 1996. After two seasons at Gay Meadow he was released and exited the Football League to join Non-League Grantham Town. He moved on to King's Lynn in 2000 and then on to Ilkeston Town in 2001.

Ilkeston loaned Nwadike to Hednesford Town in 2003, and he was eventually released at the end of the 2002-2003 season. In June 2003 he signed for Northern Premier League side Alfreton Town on a free transfer, eventually becoming club captain as well as making 126 league appearances, some of which came in the Conference North division that was formed in 2004 with Alfreton as a founding member. In 2007 he joined Worcester City, and later A.F.C. Telford United a year later. Following 20 appearances for United in the 2008-2009 season he was made available for loan and signed with Hinckley United for the remainder of the season.

In July 2009 Nwadike joined Eastwood Town, and a year later he was amongst a number of new signings made by Brian Little at Gainsborough Trinity. He failed to make a single appearance for the club from joining the club in July 2010 to his departure in March 2011, namely because of an achilles injury. He re-joined Eastwood Town in March and in June 2011 he began an employment tribunal against Gainsborough for a confidential matter between club and player. [2]

Nwadike then joined Northern Premier League team Stamford A.F.C. in February 2014 to add some experience to a young team in their bid to remain in the division having been promoted via the play offs the season before.
