Samir Nurković (Serbian Cyrillic: Самир Нурковић, born 13 June 1992) is a Serbian football striker who has played for Pohronie, Slovan Duslo Šaľa, Dunajská Streda ViOn Zlaté Moravce, Kaizer Chiefs, Spartak Vráble as well as for Royal AM F.C.[2][3] He is currently a TS Galaxy Striker

Club career

Samir was born in Tutin, Serbia and Montenegro. Nurković finished his football formation in Slovakia with Košice, joining the club at the age of 18. He played mainly for the reserve squad.

MFK Košice

On 5 November 2011, Nurković made his Corgoň Liga debut with Košice against ViOn Zlaté Moravce, where he scored the third goal of the match in a 3–2 away loss.[4]

Kaizer Chiefs

Having averaged just under a goal a game for KFC Komarno in the 2018/19 season, Nurković was going to sign for a European club ahead of the following season, but Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp spoke to him and convinced him to sign for Chiefs instead. Nurković went on to score 13 league goals during the 2019/20 season. This was the most by a Chiefs player since Knowledge Musona bagged 15 in the 2010/11 season.[5]

Royal AM

Nurković joined Royal AM at the beginning of the 2022 season. His stay at the club was acrimonious, with the club terminating his contract in October 2022, claiming the player had only reported for duty once, before an unofficial game. FIFA ruled that the termination was unlawful, and Royal AM received a transfer ban effective 3 July 2023.[6][7]
