The January recruit has had a difficult start to his Terriers career to date, making just four starts from a possible 17 since joining the club, with the Serbian striker making six further appearances from the bench

The forward has only been able to complete a full 90 minutes on one occasion since his arrival, away to QPR on January 28, but has started recent games against Stoke City and Millwall, with the striker netting his first goal for the Terriers against the Potters on Easter Monday.

Radulovic stressed that the main reasons for his lack of game time to date have been due to adjusting to a new league and building up his fitness, but the striker now feels in a good place to be able to contribute to Town's remaining games.

Illness was one game, but I was available at Watford. I wasn't I feel happy, hopefully score many goals Bojan't missing so many games as I heard or saw from illness or injuries, I think it was two games overall. It wasn't that much.

"When I came, my fitness levels were not that high, so I had to get used to the league and get this sharpness, but it wasn't the aspects of illness or injuries, it was more getting used to the league and these kind of fitness levels.

"I think I can get to the level to playing 90 minutes, because now I had two games playing 60, it has been improving a lot. They have been cautious to not giving me 90 minutes straight away, so why not? I think I can get to that level to play 90 minutes this season."
