More details have emerged on Zimbabwean star Khama Billiat and SuperSport United.
On Thursday, the forward was seen training with SSU, with an aim to win a contract at the Gavin Hunt-coached club.
Billiat has been without a club since last season, after the player's much-publicised exit from Kaizer Chiefs.

According to an insider at SuperSport, Hunt is willing to offer Billiat another chance in the Premier Soccer League, but the club's hierarchy is skeptical due to the player's injury history.
"Gavin Hunt is interested in Khama Billiat but, at this stage, it is still too early to say anything," a source tells KickOff.
"To be honest, at the moment he is just training with the team, nobody knows if he will be signed. The boy has too many wounds, he is no longer the same Khama Billiat. That's the only doubt the club has with him, otherwise there is no other reason to make a player like Billiat trial," the source revealed.

"At this stage, it's still too early for anything to happen, even negotiations haven't started yet, they have not started talking about money. But the club has made it clear he will not be signed if he is not properly healed.
"You can't sign somebody who will be forever on the sidelines nursing an injury."
