EXCLUSIVE: Free-agent Khama Billiat sparks interest from three PSL clubs including top Gauteng team after returning to South Africa as ex-Kaizer Chiefs coach seeks reunion with former Mamelodi Sundowns star ahead of January transfer window

Former Kaizer Chiefs star Khama Billiat has caught the attention of clubs in South Africa's Premier Soccer League following his exit from Yadah FC at the end of the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League season.

GOAL has learnt that SuperSport United, Sekhukhune United and TS Galaxy are pursuing Billiat's signature as they aim to strengthen their rosters ahead of next month's transfer window.

South Africa is the 34-year-old's second home as he owns a house in Midrand, Johannesburg and he spent over a decade in the country plying his trade in the PSL.

"There is a possibility right now that Khama Billiat could return to the PSL since he will become a free agent soon, a few teams have enquired about his availability and talks are ongoing," an impeccable source told GOAL.

"Actually, Sekhukhune United, TS Galaxy and SuperSport United are some of them, unfortunately, I can't name all the teams but don't be surprised when you see him in one of those teams.

"Talks with interested teams are still in the first, or rather early stages. But his management is working hard to get him a new team. I believe more information could be available when he officially becomes a free agent at the end of the month," he added.

"Also, there are several teams in Zimbabwe who are interested. Billiat had a decent season in the Castle League, he hadn't played in that much before he went to South Africa, so for him to have performed like that last season and the impact he had, is what got most team’s attention."

Before his move to Yadah in February, Billiat trained with SuperSport United under the watchful eye of Gavin Hunt, who had worked with him at the Glamour Boys, but a deal between the two sides failed to materialize. 

The Zimbabwe international was a crucial player for the Miracle Boys in the recently ended season, where he scored 13 goals and assisted 11 in 26 matches, and subsequently earned him two awards at the Castle Soccer Stars Awards.

Therefore, Billiat is unlikely to lack suitors given his vast experience and skill, having played in the PSL and secured numerous trophies with Masandawana.

It remains to be seen which PSL team Billiat will join when he officially becomes a free agent at the end of this month.

Returning to South Africa may be a good option for the former Ajax Cape Town star, especially if he is looking for a new challenge.
