Radjel was born in the Western Sahara, to a Sahrawi mother and a Mauritanian father, and moved to Spain with his family at the age of nine.[1] In July 2016, he moved to Rayo Vallecano's youth setup after representing UB Conquense.[2]
In 2017, after finishing his formation, Radjel moved to Lithuania and joined a host of Spaniards at FK Utenis Utena. After appearing with the B-team in the I Lyga,[3] he made his first team – and A Lyga – debut on 10 August of that year, coming on as a half-time substitute in a 1–1 home draw against FC Stumbras; he scored his first goal on 22 October, in a 3–0 away success over the very same club.
On 4 November 2017, Radjel scored a brace in a 2–2 draw at FK Atlantas, and finished the season with four goals in 14 appearances. The following February, he returned to Spain and signed for Tercera División side Atlético Monzón.[4]
In July 2018, after featuring regularly, Radjel moved to UD Logroñés, being initially assigned to the reserves also in the fourth division.[1] He made his first team debut on 2 December, playing the last three minutes in a 1–1 Segunda División B home draw against Real Sociedad B.[5]
In June 2019, after scoring a career-best 20 goals for Logroñés' B-side, Radjel moved to another reserve team, CD Numancia B still in the fourth tier. On 18 June of the following year, he made his first team debut by replacing Erik Morán late into a 1–2 home loss against Cádiz CF in the Segunda División championship.[6]
