On-loan from Inter Milan, Radu has been relegated to third-choice behind Neto and Mark Travers.
Iraola told the Daily Echo: It was an option.

It was an option because for me we probably have too much in the goalkeeping side.
Now we have four keepers and also the young ones that are pushing, that are training with us.
Sometimes it is very difficult for them.
It's very difficult because only one keeper plays.
Normally only one is on the bench and they have to continue training with us, keeping the competitive level.
I'm sure this has not been easy.
He had some games where I think he was good.
Also when Mark has had the chance has been performing well in the FA Cup.
So it's a strong competition which is good for the team.
But I suppose it's not easy for them."
