Like his brothers Clarence and Jürgen and his cousin Stefano he is the product of the Ajax youth academy, but in 1999 his father and player agent Johan Seedorf forced a breach with the club due to irreconcilable differences with then technical director Hans Westerhof. Chedric was admitted to the cantera of Real Madrid, but when Clarence left Madrid for Inter Milan in 2000, Jurgen (briefly) and Chedric went with him.
Realizing that it would be difficult to break through into the senior squad of Inter, Jurgen (De Graafschap) and a little later Chedric would soon opt for a move back to the Netherlands with Eredivisie side NAC Breda.[1] He made his debut in 2001, but did not manage to become a permanent fixture in the squad. His contract was therefore cancelled in 2003, after which he played amateur football for some time.[2]
In August 2005 Chedric signed a contract with Italian Serie C2/A outfit A.C. Legnano, a club presided over by former A.C. Milan star, Marco Simone, a personal friend of Chedric. He also played for Serie C1/A club Pizzighettone. In June 2007, Seedorf signed for the Belgian coast team K.V. Oostende.[3]
In August 2008, Chedric was loaned to Savoie 74 by A.C. Milan in 2-year contract. That deal ended in January 2009, after which he joined HFC Haarlem.[4]
Chedric is the younger brother of Clarence Seedorf, and also the cousin of Stefano Seedorf.[8][9]
