Billiat motivated by Chiefs’ poor season

Kaizer Chiefs forward Khama Billiat says the club struggling this season has inspired him to do better for the team next season.


Chiefs have struggled to move up the league table blowing hot and cold and could finish out of the top eight on the league table.

With Amakhosi’s last league game in sight, Billiat is counting the positives from a season that Amakhosi would like to forget.

Chiefs still have a chance to win silverware after reaching the final of the Nedbank Cup against TS Galaxy on May 18.

“I think at the end of the day I need to be professional. It’s not always going to be great, whether I was going to be here [at Chiefs] or wherever else,” said Billiat.

“In football, you always have to go through something that makes you better as a person and a player, and I’m not used to everything. Maybe I need to get used to this for us to be better or stronger and learn.

“This is not the season we wanted but we have learnt a lot. I’m sure we are better players and it’s just that the season is coming to an end, and we’re looking forward to the next season.

“No one wants to be in this space for long, and I’m sure that it will actually give us more as individuals to put in the field.”
