Radoslav Vasilev (Bulgarian: Радослав Василев; born 12 October 1990) is a Bulgarian footballer who plays as a striker for Slavia Sofia.

Career

Vasilev started playing football at Slavia in his hometown Sofia before his tenth birthday.

Reading

He transferred from Slavia Sofia to Reading for an undisclosed fee on 12 December 2007.[1] Reading's Academy Recruitment officer, Steve Shorey (father of Nicky Shorey) explained his reasons for signing Vasilev: "He's different from what we've got at the same age. He's not just about brawn and pace, he's got football intelligence. He's a lovely size, around 6 ft 2 in, can use both feet." Vasilev was released from Reading at the beginning of May 2010, alongside midfielders Mitchell Bryant and Oliver Bozanic.[2]

Slavia

In July 2010 Vasilev returned to Bulgaria, signing a contract with his home club Slavia Sofia. He made his A PFG debut during the 2010–11 season on August 21, 2010 in a 2–0 away win against Pirin Blagoevgrad.

International

In March 2015, Vasilev was called up to the Bulgarian national side for a Euro 2016 qualifier against Italy,[3] but did not debut.
