Club career

Bader was loaned out to Chabab Ghazieh by Nejmeh for the 2018–19 Lebanese Premier League.[2] He finished the season as his team's top scorer,[3] with six goals and five assists.[4]
In September 2019, Nejmeh renewed Bader's contract for an additional three years.[5] In July 2020, Nejmeh officials confirmed that they had rejected an offer for Bader by Tunisian club ES Métlaoui.[6]
On 11 February 2023, Bader scored a hat-trick to help Nejmeh beat Shabab Sahel 4–1 in the 2022–23 Lebanese Premier League.[7] Following extensive negotiations, on 6 June 2023, Nejmeh renewed Bader's contract for three years.[8]
Manama and Al-Yarmouk
In August 2024, Bader joined Manama in the Bahraini Premier League.[9] He moved to Al-Yarmouk in Kuwait in December, after only four months.[10]
International career
In 2019, Bader was called up to play for the Lebanon national under-23 team.[3] He made his senior debut for the Lebanon national team on 19 November 2022, as a substitute in a 2–0 friendly defeat to Kuwait in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.[11] On 22 June 2023, Bader scored his first international goal for Lebanon, in a 2–0 win against Bangladesh in the 2023 SAFF Championship.[12]
Style of play
Bader was noted as one of Lebanon's most promising talents in his youth.[4][13][14] He is a versatile forward who can also play as a winger.[9]
