Billy The Kid opens Belgian account

Sports Reporter

BILL ANTONIO opened his goal-scoring account for the KV Mechelen Under-21 team in Belgium on Monday.

Antonio scored the winning goal in their Belgian Cup victory over Lierse Under-21.

Antonio joined the Belgian top-flight club at the beginning of last month.

He was immediately shipped to the Under-21 side as part of a smooth integration into the senior side.

He signed a two-year deal following a successful one-month trial.

His debut was delayed by work permit issues.

The Warriors forward will be playing for the academy, for now, before he is integrated into the senior squad.

The 20-year-old was outstanding for Dynamos, where he made 28 appearances and scored 11 goals since making his debut last year, in the Chibuku Super Cup.

He has also made an appearance for the Warriors after being given his debut by Norman Mapeza, during a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier against South Africa last year.
