At Kaizer Chiefs he has netted an impressive 26 times, The South African reported.

He is also now the sixth-highest goalscorer in the history of the Premier Soccer League. The five men ahead of him have all reached the 100-goal mark.

Former Kaizer Chiefs player Siyabonga Nomvethe is currently the PSL’s highest goalscorer, having scored 123 goals in the league.

Mamelodi Sundowns stalwart, Daniel 'Mambush' Mudau, is next on the list with 110 goals. Mabuthi Khanyeza is currently third but has also scored 100 goals during his time in the PSL.

Tico-Tico Bucuane is next on the list with 104 goals and he is followed by Collins Mbesuma, who has 103 goals.

Only Mbesuma is still actively playing, but currently competes in the GladAfrica Championship.

At only 31-years-old, Billiat is still in a prime position to break the record and become South Africa’s leading marksman.
