After beginning her senior career with Tammeka Tartu, Jaadla signed for their Naiste Meistriliiga rivals Flora Tallinn in 2011.[2] She had a brief spell with Swedish club Umeå Södra FF in 2009.[3]
During the 2011–12 season, Estonian national team coach Keith Boanas arranged for Jaadla to join Tottenham Hotspur, coached by Karen Hills who played for Boanas at Charlton Athletic. Boanas said: "This co–operation greatly aids the development of the players and they bring new things back to Estonia that inspires other players."[4]
She played with the St Antony's/Nuffield/Wolfson/St Cross Foxes and won the Oxford University Football Association Women's Cuppers Tournament in 2015. In March 2015 Jaadla was signed by English FA WSL 2 club Oxford United.[5]
