After a short loan at Letná he transferred to Danish side FC Midtjylland during the 15/16 season. However, he decided to return to Sparta in the summer transfer window of 2016.[6] He signed a four-year contract with the club.[7]

On 29 September 2016, with Sparta Prague, he scored twice in the 3–1 win against Inter Milan in Europa League.[8][9]

In February 2020, Kadlec announced his retirement from playing due to persistent knee problems.[10]
