He played football for MTK Budapest between 1919 and 1930. Nádler was a seven-time league champion for MTK (1919–20, 1920–21, 1921–22, 1922–23, 1923–24, 1924–25, and 1928–29) and two-time Hungarian Cup winner (1923 and 1925).[3][4][6] He scored six goals in 107 matches in all competitions for the club.[4]
Between 1924 and 1926, Nádler earned seven caps for the Hungary national team.[4] He was a member of the team that participated in the 1924 Summer Olympics,[7] but he did not play in any matches.[8]
