Former Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns star Khama Billiat has signed for a new club after an impressive 2024 season. Billiat was the Soccer Star of the Year runner-up after a fine season with Yadah FC.
The ex-Ajax attacker scored 13, the second-best tally in the Zimbabwe Castle Lager Premier Soccer League. Furthermore, Billiat contributed significantly with 11 assists, resulting in a remarkable total of 24 direct goal involvements for Yadah.
Following the expiry of his contract on 31 December 2024, he has found a new home. The 34-year-old winger was officially unveiled on Thursday by cash-rich PSL newcomers Scottland FC after signing on a free transfer.
The club confirmed the signing of Billiat via social media. However, the details of the contract, including its length, were not disclosed. This move sees Billiat continue to ply his trade in the Zimbabwean top flight for a second consecutive season following his return to the country after a decade-long stint in South African football.
Scottland FC, who recently gained promotion to the PSL, will be hoping that Billiat’s experience and proven goal-scoring ability can help them establish themselves in the top flight and avoid relegation in their debut season.
Billiat had been the subject of interest from South African teams, but nothing materialised. At Scottland, he will be joined by Knowledge Musona’s sibling, Walter. The former Polokwane City winger has been linked to the club after bidding farewell to league winners Simba Bhora.
