Serbian striker Samir Nurkovic's goals at TS Galaxy have pushed his coach into singling out as being a player that every club in the league would love to have. 

Nurkovic has scored six goals since joining after a frustrating 17 months on the sidelines that came after his departure from Kaizer Chiefs and subsequent drama at Royal AM.

The 31-year-old has scored with every second league match that he features in at a rate of a goal in every 78 minutes.

"Samir is just an unbelievable striker," says Sead Ramovic, the TS Galaxy coach.  

"I have met so many players through my playing career and as a coach, and I can clearly say I haven't seen many of them as professional, fantastic, and hard working as Samir.  

"We are just lucky to have Samir in our team. 

"He is in top fitness now and he will help us a lot as we still have 14 league games and more in the cup.

"I hope that he doesn't get injured because we have a small squad.

"Samir is a guy with no injuries and every day he trains.

"I'm sure that every team in this league would be happy to have Samir in their squad.

"I'm pretty we will still see a lot of him for the remainder of the season," says Ramovic.

Nurkovic scored 14 goals (plus six assists) in his first season at Chiefs, but contract issues and injuries restricted him to six and one in his second and third seasons before being released. 

His unfair dismissal case created by his short stay at Royal AM is now at CAS after FIFA ruled that he be paid the full worth of his two-year contract.
