Former Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Khama Billiat could return to Betway Premiership after spending few months in Zimbabwe.
According to several reports, Cape Town City have enquiried about the availability of the Zimbabwean international as they are looking to beef up their squad.
The 33-year-old recently left the South African Premier Soccer League after receiving no offer from PSL Clubs. The player received an offer from Yadah, which was not the offer the player was hoping for.
Despite not being satisfied by the offer he received from the Zimbabwean giants, Khama Billiat decided to sign the deal with the club as he was looking to revive his football career.
The midfielder decided against signing a new contract with Amakhosi last season after the club offered him a new contract which had a salary reduction. Khama Billiat felt he could seal a better offer elsewhere, however, no club approached the player that time.
