He made his official debut for CSKA in the last match of 2008-09 season in the Bulgarian A PFG (Professional Football Group) against Lokomotiv Mezdra. On 18 November he terminated his contract with CSKA Sofia due to unpaid salaries. He won the Bulgarian Cup as a member of Beroe. In February 2017, Karadzhov joined Belarusian Premier League side Shakhtyor Soligorsk.[1] He appeared in 15 matches for the team before signing with Arda Kardzhali as a free agent in March 2018.[2]

Karadzhov was part of the Bulgaria national under-19 football team, who plays on 2008 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship in Czech Republic. After his good displays, on 2 October 2009 he was called by the head coach of the Bulgarian national football team Stanimir Stoilov for the matches against Cyprus and Georgia. He did not receive any national team call-ups again until November 2020, and he finally made his debut for the senior team on 5 June 2021 in a friendly against Russia.[3]

Karadzhov and his spouse Slavina have two children - a girl and a boy.[4]
