TS Galaxy forward Bernard Parker is itching for a start as his side prepare to meet Orlando Pirates in a DStv Premiership match this weekend.

The 36-year-old joined the Rockets in August after parting ways with Kaizer Chiefs, a club he served 11 years.

The veteran Parker has only made one appearance for TS Galaxy to date when he came on as a substitute against Golden Arrows two weeks ago.

PARKER HOPES FOR A START AGAINST PIRATES

“As a player, it would mean a lot to me if I can get my first start this weekend,” Parker said as per Soccer Laduma.

“Obviously everybody would love to be against a big team and Orlando Pirates is a big team.

“I think I have played close to 40 matches against Pirates and I have a good record against Pirates. I’ve got more wins than losses and a whole lot of draws.

“It will be a good one for me to get off the mark in terms of my new team and it will be a good one if we can get maximum points in Orlando.”
