In what will come as shocking news, KickOff can reveal that Samir Nurkovic has left TS Galaxy just two days before their first game of the Betway Premiership season.

Nurkovic went up to 10 goals last season after joining in September 2023 as replacement for Ivorian striker Djakaridja Traore.

Those double figures on the scoring charts then prompted Galaxy to activate the option of a further year.

However, it has all turned sour with the two parties going separate ways.

Nurkovic has been in South Africa for five years, which is the prerequisite for filing an application for papers which will make him eligible to play as a 'local'.

He made his entrance via Kaizer Chiefs, where he spent three years, before switching to Royal AM, where his stay has turned into a contractual dispute which is now at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

Nurkovic signed for Royal AM in May 2022 just before the expiry of his contact.
