KHAMA Billiat could not hide his appreciation of Highlanders striker Lynoth Chikuhwa’s positive impact in the just-ended season which saw him raise the bar high by scoring 17 goals for Bosso.
Chikuhwa scooped the Golden Boot Award with Billiat taking the runners-up slot with 13 goals.
“I really want to appreciate everyone. I came back to play football. I really appreciate the good times we had at Yadah Stars,” said Billiat.
“We had great games.
“To the league’s top goal scorer, you really pushed my brother.
“Thank you so much.”
Billiat finished in third place in the Soccer Star of the Year rae behind Chikuhwa (second) and Walter Musona (first).
However, he won the prize as the fans’ choice for the best player in the domestic Premiership.
It’s the first time this award has been won by someone who is not Tino Benza, the Herentals forward.
Billiat will become a free agent at the end of this month when his one-year contract with Yadah comes to an end.
The talented forward joined the Miracle Boys in February after spending over six months unattached following his departure at Kaizer Chiefs last June.
The 34-year-old’s arrival at Yadah marked his return to the domestic league after more than a decade of playing in South Africa.
Khama said his camp is still working on his next move.
“Obviously, a lot is being said right now. And it’s natural for people to say things. But right now, I am focusing on improving myself and celebrating these wins.
“I will surely move but the where to has not yet been decided.
“I can’t really say much about the future but all I can say is that something big will come. We are working on something.
“And, obviously, the key thing is to value and celebrate the time we had at Yadah FC. I am getting all the attention because of that move to Yadah.
“So, my next destination will be revealed in due time but now I’m celebrating this success.”
