Unattached former Kaizer Chiefs winger Khama Billiat is currently training with SuperSport United where he is hoping to earn a new deal.
The Zimbabwean midfielder has received support from his countryman Onismor Bhasera who has urged Matsatsantsa management to offer the pacy Billiat a deal.
The experienced Billiat, who first played for Ajax Cape Town after moving to South Africa, has also played more than 100 games for Sundowns and he would add quality and depth to the SuperSport squad as they look to push on from a successful first half of the season.
Speaking to the media after the draw for the Nedbank Cup was concluded Bhasera said: “Yeah, he was training with us. That’s what I can give you. He is keeping fit. I spoke to him. I think even before we close, he wanted to keep fit.
“Of course, you don’t expect him to be the Khama he was because he has been sitting at home and he is a bit rusty. But I think any club in the world now would love to have the quality of Khama.
“I don’t know what will happen. We put our fingers crossed that if anything happens, he will join us. But right now, Khama is just training with us to keep fit.
“To have him at the club everyone here will love and to have the quality like Khama, trust me, we will love to have him around.
“It will be a good addition for us if it happens that he signs on the dotted line, he is a quality player.”
Bhasera went on to comment on the Nedbank Cup draw that saw his side pitted against Cape Town City. “Very happy with the draw against a very good team, which will give us a good game.
“They are doing very well right now. It’s not going to be easy, but we will fight to make sure we are in the next round,” he said.
