South Coast coach Richard Lloyd believes striker Ricky Zucco is headed for the A-League should his blistering form continue.

Zucco scored a goal of the year contender to spark Saturday's stunning 4-1 thumping of Marconi, with a breathtaking left-foot, long-range strike.

Currently embarking on a personal training course away from the Wolves camp, Zucco has produced a marked improvement to help lift South Coast off the bottom of the all-important NSW Premier League club championship, which will determine end-of-season relegation.

"He is as dangerous as any striker in the A-League when he's is playing like he has been," Lloyd said.

"Even the referee [Khodr Yaghi] commented to me after the game, 'I don't know what you've done to this bloke, but it's working'.

"Obviously Ricky has had his frustrations with referees before, but he's doing a lot of good things off the field and it's working for him out there.

"I still don't think he's fully fit, hopefully he will only get better."

Zucco - who served a five week suspension earlier this season - had a trial with Wellington Phoenix last year, before returning to Illawarra Premier League club Tarrawanna then to South Coast.

Lloyd's relief and excitement at the Wolves' second victory this season was tempered by a week of heavy rain, which forced the team away from the training paddock.

The squad had a Monday pool session, before playing futsal to prepare for tonight's trip to Blacktown to take on the Spartans.

The Wolves are poised to sign a 20-year-old defender from Canberra, in a bid to cover the mid-season loss of Michael Robinson, who is travelling overseas.

The Spartans battle will go ahead as scheduled because of the synthetic playing surface at Blacktown Sports Park.

Lloyd remained wary of Spartans, who have secured former Sydney Olympic captain Phil Makrys in the transfer period.

"We've got a plan to try and frustrate him as much as we can.

"He's got a big motor on him, he could play for 180 minutes, so we know he will be a handful. But the big thing we've changed is focusing on what we are doing, rather than trying to adjust too much to what the other team is trying to do," Lloyd said.
