Andrija Novakovich is starting to make a name for himself with his remarkable run of form for SC Telstar in the Dutch Eerste Divisie.

Telstar currently sit 4th in the table, only four points off top spot. Andrija has certainly played his part in the teams success. The striker has hit nine goals already this campaign.

Novakovich admitted that his goalscoring run has been down to the collective efforts of himself and his Telstar team mates.

“It’s been a good run so far. The lads have been brilliant and we started to click and make the right decisions at the right times.”

The American youth international isn’t overwhelmed by his good form and is remaining focused on the team’s performances this season.

‘My individual aim is aligned with the team’s: a playoff spot. Just to work hard and enjoy my football.”

The 21 year old is currently on a season-long loan in the Netherlands and will be looking to force his way into Jaap Stam’s first team when he returns in the summer.

“Obviously, the goal of a loan move is to get experience and impress the staff back at reading. It’s nice to see the other lads getting chances in the first team, but I’m just focused on my job over here.”

The forward is certainly enjoying his life out in Holland but did admit that the football is different in Holland compared to England.

“Life in Holland is good so far, thankfully! Like I said, the lads have been brilliant in helping me on the pitch as well as off of it. They really made me feel welcomed.

“The football is a bit different I must admit. There are many technical players here, but it’s a mix of playing football and grinding out a result.”

Novakovich revealed that Telstar manager Mike Snoei was a big factor as to why he made the season-long move to Holland.

“Mike has been great for me and my teammates. He knows how to motivate us and say the right things in the right moments.

“He was a big reason I came to the club after a few conversations together.”

Novakovich and his SC Telstar team mates face an away trip to RKC Waalwijk on Friday where they will look to make it six wins in a row in the league.
