Rudy, a previously highly touted young player, came up through the youth system at Paris St. Germain. In 2006 he was loaned out to Valenciennes FC.

He was unable to hold down a regular first team place at PSG and was thus considered spare parts. He has been noted as a player of some promise but the presence of Portuguese goalscorer Pauleta restricted his first team opportunities. He signed with Maccabi Tel Aviv F.C. in July, 2007. His Jewish ethnicity made him a prime target for football clubs in Israel, where he would not count as a foreigner. Maccabi Tel Aviv placed a €500,000 bid for his services [cite news |first= |last= |authorlink= |author= |coauthors= |title=Foot - Transferts - Haddad au Maccabi Tel-Aviv ? |url=http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/breves2007/20070707_074214Dev.html |format= |work= |publisher=L'Équipe |id= |pages= |page= |date=2007-07-07 |accessdate=2007-07-07 |language=French |quote= ] .

Haddad has something of a cult following due to his exceptional ability in the Championship Manager computer game series.
