Serbian striker Samir Nurkovic has spoken for the first time on his latest move to SuperSport United, after his surprise exit from TS Galaxy.
Nurkovic arrives as a welcome addition to the roster of the Gavin Hunt-led side, particularly as the club faces somewhat of a striker crisis, with Bradley Grobler sidelined with a serious injury, while Etiosa Ighodaro was recalled by parent club Mamelodi Sundowns, who have since loaned him out to AmaZulu FC.

"The thing that I most look forward to at this amazing club, is making an impact on the field, connecting with my new teammates and embracing the passion of the fans.
