Club career

Born in Berlin, Germany, Radjabali-Fardi began his career with Hertha Zehlendorf and after five years he joined Lichterfelder FC in 2001. After only two years in Lichterfelde, he was scouted by Hertha BSC.

Hertha BSC

Radjabali-Fardi made his Hertha debut on 17 July 2008 in the 2008–09 UEFA Cup first qualifying round 1st leg against Nistru Otaci. He played two more UEFA Cup qualifying matches, and Hertha's Europa League group phase match against FK Ventspils the following season, but never featured in Hertha's first team in domestic competitions. After two and a half years on the bench, Hertha loaned him to Alemannia Aachen until the end of the 2011–12 season. He was released by Hertha at the end of the 2012–13 season.[1]

Alemannia Aachen

After joining Aachen on loan from Hertha, he made his debut on the 19th matchday of the 2. Bundesliga against Karlsruher SC, and scored his first goal a month later in Aachen's 3–1 win over SC Paderborn 07. Over the course of the loan, Radjabali-Fardi played in about two-thirds of Aachen's matches, making 38 league appearances and scoring twice. At the end of the 2011–12 season, Radjabali-Fardi's loan expired and he returned to Hertha Berlin.

Hansa Rostock

On 12 June 2013, Radjabali-Fardi signed for 3. Liga side Hansa Rostock.[2] In August 2014, he tore a cruciate ligament for the second time in his career.[3]

He retired at the age of 25.[4]
