Nurkovic recently scored his first DStv Premiership goal of the season in the 3-1 win over Chippa United, and is looking to add more against SuperSport United on Saturday.
"For me personally, it has been a hard period in the past two years with a lot of injuries and surgery. I’m feeling great and happy to be back on the field after the struggle with injury,” he said. "We just need to continue with the same fighting spirit when we played against Chippa United.
Chiefs are set to welcome fans back in the stands for the first time since March 2020 and Nurkovic says they can play a big role in helping the side to a Caf Champions League qualification place next season.
"I’m really happy. It has been a long time since we had them on the stands. The last game was two years ago but finally, we are here and I’m really happy and looking forward to seeing them on the stands again,” he said.
"Having such fantastic support as a club like Kaizer Chiefs we need them in every game because they are like our 12th player on the field. They give us the motivation that every player needs so I’m looking forward to seeing them back."
