Career

Radix began his career as a referee in 2010, by overseeing matches at the local GFA Premier League, Grenada's top flight category. [1]

In January 2017, Radix, who had been working as a teacher at the St David's Catholic Secondary School in Saint David Parish, was selected by CONCACAF to attend an intensive two-phase training to choose 14 referees of excellency to represent the confederation. [1] The course took place in Toluca, Mexico, and was organized by the Mexican Football Federation. [1] At the time of being chosen by CONCACAF, Radix was pursuing a career as a national long distance athlete. [1]

At CONCACAF level, he has led games for the qualification for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, with matches between notable national teams, as in October 2021, when he refereed a 4–1 United States victory over Jamaica national football team. [3] The subsequent year, Radix was again chosen by CONCACAF to attend a prestigious Referee Academy at the Dallas Cup, where he was appointed to officiate U-19 matches. [4] Radix has also refereed matches for the CONCACAF qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. [5] [6]

Among Radix's most important CONCACAF performances are the third-place match of the 2019–20 CONCACAF Nations League between Honduras and Costa Rica, which ended in a Honduran victory on penalties. [7] He also oversaw the final game between Cibao FC and Violette AC at the 2022 Caribbean Club Championship. [8] In the same year, Radix took part in the CONCACAF U-20 Championship, [9] and performed in four CONCACAF Gold Cup editions; first as a sponsored referee for training at the 2019 tournament, [10] followed by a main role at the 2021 Gold Cup, [11] as a support referee in the 2023 tournament in Canada and the US, [12] and again in a supporting role in 2025. [13] [14] For this last edition, Radix also whistled games during the qualification process. [15]
