FAR Post reported that Nurkovic is currently training with TS Galaxy and is likely to join the club permanently.

He has also been linked with sides like Cape Town City and Morocco’s Raja Casablanca.

Nurkovic’s battle with Royal AM

The Serbian attacker is eager to return to playing football while he waits for his legal battle with Royal AM to be resolved.

The club released the player while he was injured and before he made a professional appearance for the side and then took the matter to FIFA.

The governing body ruled in his favour and ordered MaMkhize’s side to pay him in the region of R12 million. This includes his salary for his entire contract.

As noted by SABC Sport, the KwaZulu-Natal club appealed the decision, but the matter was thrown out of court.
