Career

Born in Râmnicu Vâlcea in Vâlcea County in 1977, Radu began his career in his native Romania. He started out at Jiul Petroşani, before leaving in 1998 for Bucharest champions Rapid Bucharest. He subsequently moved to Bucharest rivals FC Naţional three years later.

2003 brought his first move to a foreign club, Le Mans UC72 in France. However this was not a successful period, and after fifteen goalless matches he returned to Naţional. He moved to Germany in 2005 to join Energie Cottbus, then a 2. Bundesliga club. Cottbus won promotion in 2006, with Radu's contribution being 12 goals in 33 games. In the next season with Cottbus in the Bundesliga he scored 14 goals in 34 matches, being the goal-scorer of his team.

In July 2007, he made a permanent move to VfL Wolfsburg and now in January 2008 he was loaned to VfB Stuttgart[1][2] who did not use the option to sign the forward permanently.

For the 2008–09 campaign, Radu moved on a loan spell to newly promoted Bundesliga side 1. FC Köln. After being demoted to the VfL Wolfsburg reserve team on 30 May 2009[3] he returned to Energie Cottbus on 17 July 2009 signing a three-year contract.

In January 2011, he ended his contract with Cottbus and joined Alemannia Aachen.[4] Radu scored on his debut in the 4–2 win against Karlsruher SC in the 19th round of the 2. Bundesliga.
