Mario Amare Bilate (born 16 July 1991) is a Russian professional footballer who plays as a striker for NAC Breda in the Dutch Eerste Divisie.[1]
Playing career
XerxesDZB
Bilate broke into the XerxesDZB first team in March 2010 and scored seven goals in the ten games he appeared in.[2] His form was impressive enough to win him a move to Sparta Rotterdam, where he had played earlier as a youth.[2]
Sparta Rotterdam
Bilate joined Sparta Rotterdam in January 2011 on a two and a half year deal.[2] He made his competitive debut on 7 August 2011 in a 1-0 win over Fortuna Sittard.[3] In the summer of 2012 Bilate then signed a contract extension to keep him at the club until 2015.[4]
Dundee United
Bilate was released from his Sparta Rotterdam contract a year early and signed a two-year contract with Dundee United in July 2014.[5] Bilate had originally been set to join Eerste Divisie champions Willem II but the move fell through at the last minute after the Sparta Rotterdam board decided they wanted a transfer fee.[6] He made his debut as a substitute in Dundee United's opening match of the 2014–15 season, a 3–0 win against Aberdeen on 10 August 2014.[7] He then scored the winning goal on his home debut three days later, in a 1–0 victory over Motherwell, again after coming off the bench.[8] He was released from his contract at Tannadice in November 2015, after making only two appearances in the 2015–16 season.[9]
