Zimbabwean football icon Khama Billiat has officially signed with Scottland FC, a team newly promoted to the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League (PSL).
The move, finalised on a free transfer, is seen as a landmark acquisition for the ambitious club.
At 33, Billiat remains a force to be reckoned with in African football. Renowned for his technical prowess, speed, and goal-scoring ability, the former Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs star has consistently delivered top performances throughout his career.
His most recent stint at Yadah FC was no exception, where he tallied an impressive 13 goals and 11 assists last season. Beyond club success, Billiat was instrumental in helping Zimbabwe secure qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations under coach Michael Nees.
For Scottland FC, Billiat’s arrival represents more than just sporting prowess. As the highest-paid player in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League, his estimated monthly salary of R95,500 (US$5,000) and a signing-on fee of R378,000 underline his market appeal and the club’s ambition to compete at the highest levels.
The forward’s decision to return to Zimbabwe is also a boost for local football, bringing renewed attention and excitement to the league.
Billiat’s experience and leadership on the pitch will undoubtedly strengthen Scottland FC as they navigate their debut season in the PSL and aim for dominance in both domestic and international competitions.
With Billiat leading their attack, Scottland FC is poised for a transformative season. For Billiat, this new chapter offers a chance to further cement his legacy as one of the greatest footballers from Zimbabwe.
