BILLIATS NATURENA EXIT ON IT’S WAY

Billiat spent large parts of last season sidelined and when he did play he appeared to be a shadow of his former self.

Furthermore, the passed few seasons he has struggled to score goals and he has not posed much of a threat on goal. Billiat managed three goals in 10 starts in the PSL last season.

During the 2021/22 season he managed eight goals in 27 matches, with 8 assists. These are much better stats from the former Mamelodi Sundowns man but no where near what is needed from one of the PSL’s highest-paid.

Also, Billiat has fallen down the pecking order with the additions of attackers Ranga Chivaviro and Pule Mmodi and the rise of Ashley du Preez, Mduduzi Shabalala and young starlet Wandile Duba. The fact that Amakhosi offered him a lower salary means that he is less valued by management.
