SuperSport United FC have announced the signing of Serbian striker Samir Nurković on a one-and-a-half year deal.  Nurković, 32, will however start running for the Tshwane based club in the new year as the club is still working on acquiring his work permit.

Nurković, previously with Kaizer Chiefs, Royal AM and recently with TS Galaxy, has scored over 30 goals in his five year stay in the country and will be looking forward to increasing his goal tally during his Matsatsantsa stay.

SuperSport United CEO Stanley Matthews on the club’s new acquisition, “Samir is a proven number 9 target man with a good track record and who will fit in well with our style of play, which looks to get crosses in from wide areas and to capitalize on set pieces.”

Nurković adds, “I am so happy and grateful to be at a wonderful and amazing club like SuperSport United FC. I am very much looking forward to my first training session at the club, getting to meet my new teammates and getting to work.”
