Vadócz made his professional debuts aged 17, with hometown's Budapest Honvéd FC, and caught the eye of Ligue 1 outfit AJ Auxerre in the 2005 summer. However, he managed no first-team appearances in a three-year spell, finishing his last on loan to Motherwell in Scotland.[1]
In June 2007, Vadócz was finally released by the French, joining NEC Nijmegen. During his only season in the Eredivisie, he was an essential midfield element for a side that finished a comfortable 8th. Subsequently, he penned a four-year deal with La Liga side CA Osasuna.[2] Never an undisputed starter in his first season, he did score some important goals for the Navarrese - against UD Almería (3–1, after only playing one minute)[3] and at Atlético de Madrid (4–2).[4]
In the 2009–10 season, Vadócz appeared in exactly the same number of matches for Osasuna, again mainly from the bench; on 11 April 2010, he scored from 35 yards to help his side to a 2–0 home win against Real Zaragoza.[5]
Vadócz was released by Osasuna in the last day of the 2011 summer transfer window. He immediately signed with former team NEC.
Vadócz made his debut for both Hungary's under-21 and the seniors in 2004. He netted his first goal for the latter a year later, in a 3–2 friendly win over Antigua and Barbuda, in Miami, Florida.
