In 2013 - 2015, Radil continued only with the HC ČSOB Pojišťovna Pardubice of the Tipsport Extraliga. 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 Czechia for the first time in his career upon signing a one-year contract with Russian club, the Spartak Moskva of the KHL on June 4, 2015.

In his first season with the Spartak Moskva 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 January 21, 2016.

At the conclusion of the 2017-18 season, his third with the Spartak Moskva and having increased his points total in each season, Radil left as a free agent to pursue his NHL ambitions by agreeing to a one-year contract with the San Jose Sharks organisation on April 4, 2018. On November 23, 2018, Radil made his NHL debut, in a 4–0 victory against the Vancouver Canucks. On December 8, 2018, Radil scored his first NHL goal in the Sharks' 5–3 win over the Arizona Coyotes. Having scored 9 points through his first 18 games, Radil was signed to a one-year contract extension with the Sharks on January 6, 2019. In the 2018-19 season, Radil played 36 regular season games and 6 play-off games with the San Jose Sharks of the NHL and 15 regular season games and 1 play-off game with the San Jose Barracuda of the AHL.

In the following 2019–20 season, Radil was unable to solidify his role in the NHL with the Sharks while not scoring a single point in 14 games and was waived on December 13, 2019. A day later, he was reassigned to the Barracuda. He collected 16 points in 28 games with the Barracuda before the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

With his tenure with the Sharks effectively ended, Radil as an impending free agent opted to return to Russia to join former club, the Spartak Moskva of the KHL, on a one-year contract on June 9, 2020.

International career
Radil played with the Czech National Team at the 2017 World Championship and at the 2018 Olympics.
