Playing career

Radil began playing as a youth within the Pardubice organization. He made his professional debut with Pardubice at the end of the 2007–08 season, in the Czech Extraliga relegation round.[1]

Undrafted and in his eighth season with Pardubice in 2014–15, Radil marked career highs with 29 assists and 39 points in 52 games. As a free agent, Radil left the Czech Republic for the first time in his career upon signing a one-year contract with Russian club, Spartak Moscow of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) on 4 June 2015.[2]

In his first season with Spartak in 2015–16, Radil instantly added offence on the club's scoring line with 32 points in 57 games. He was re-signed to an improved two-year contract during the campaign on 21 January 2016.[3]

At the conclusion of the 2017–18 season, his third with Spartak Moscow and having increased his points total in each season, Radil left as a free agent to pursue his National Hockey League ambitions by agreeing to a one-year contract with the San Jose Sharks on 4 April 2018.[4] On 23 November 2018, Radil made his NHL debut, in a 4–0 victory against the Vancouver Canucks.[5] On 8 December, Radil scored his first NHL goal in the Sharks' 5–3 win over the Arizona Coyotes.[6] Having scored 9 points through his first 18 games, Radil was signed to a one-year contract extension with the Sharks on 6 January 2019.[7]

In the following 2019–20 season, Radil was unable to solidify his role in the NHL with San Jose and was waived on 13 December 2019.[8] A day later, he was reassigned to the Barracuda.[9] He collected 16 points in 28 games with the Barracuda before the season was cancelled due to COVID-19.

With his tenure with the Sharks effectively ended, Radil as an impending free agent opted to return to Russia to join former club, Spartak Moscow of the KHL, on a one-year contract on 9 June 2020.[10] In the following 2020–21 season, Radil regained his scoring touch with Spartak, posting 19 goals and 32 points through 55 regular season games.

As a free agent, Radil left Spartak for the second time, opting to continue in the KHL on a one-year deal with Latvian based club, Dinamo Riga, on 29 June 2021.[11]
