[edit]

The youngster's goal-scoring rate is remarkable even by Asian standards. He scored a remarkable 31 goals in the 2009/10 Iraqi Premier League season. Having finished last year’s AFC Cup as top-scorer with Arbil with nine goals, he has continued to cause havoc this season, being on target four times as his side established a six-point cushion at the summit.[4]

He scored an impressive 23 goals during the 2011–12 Iraqi Premier League to help his Erbil to the title and win his first Iraqi premier league title.

Radhi served a one-year suspension from football in 2019 after four prohibited substances were found in his sample.
