Mario Bilate (born 16 July 1991 in Moscow) is a Russian-born Dutch professional footballer who last played as a striker for Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership.
Playing career
XerxesDZB
Bilate broke into the XerxesDZB first team in March 2010 and scored seven goals in the ten games he appeared in.[1] His form was impressive enough to win him a move to Sparta Rotterdam, where he had played earlier as a youth.[1]
Sparta Rotterdam
Bilate joined Sparta Rotterdam in January 2011 on a two and a half year deal.[1] He made his competitive debut on 7 August 2011 in a 1-0 win over Fortuna Sittard.[2] In the summer of 2012 Bilate then signed a contract extension to keep him at the club until 2015.[3]
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.[4] 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.[5] 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.[6] 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.[7] He was released from his contract at Tannadice in November 2015, after making only two appearances in the 2015-16 season.[8]
