Nedev made his debut for Vladislav Varna at the age of 17 years and 8 months in a friendly against Levski Sofia (3-1) on 12 July 1938.

Most of his goals were scored from a long range. After World War II he kept playing for the team under its yearly name changes by the communist regime. Nedko Nedev was a joint top scorer in the first post war league, 1948-49 to be known as A group. He scored 11 goals, as many as Dimitar Milanov of CDNA. Nedev played his last competitive match on 4 September 1952 for VMS against Udarnik Sofia (3-2) when he came in as a substitute in the second half. He had a short lived career as a coach for Udarnik Varna. Nedko Nedev was also a qualified dental technician and worked as such until his retirement
