Edison Bilbao Zarate hails from Chile and he was born on 3 June 1987. He plays as a midfielder where he is well-known for his tireless work-rate as the offensive midfielder stands out with his stamina and he joined our Club in the 2016 January Transfer Window.
He was brought to Malta in the 2012-2013 season by Qormi FC before moving to New York Cosmos later on that year. He was brought back to our island in the 2014-2015 season by Balzan, before moving to our Club in the following season.
After helping Balzan to write a new page in the Club’s history by earning a spot in the UEFA Europa League, Edison, one of the best foreigners of the previous season, was retained by the Club.
During the first six months of the season, he continued to establish himself as one of the best foreign midfielders on our island and kept a regular place and was also the captain of the team. Till the end of 2015, he made fifteen appearances, all from the start and scored one goal. He scored the second goal in the 2-0 victory over Naxxar Lions in a match played on the 28 August.
In the January Transfer Window, the Stripes were seeking to bring fresh blood to the team and the choice fell on the Chilean midfielder. He signed a two and a half year contract with our Club on Monday, 4 January 2016. As part of the deal, Paul Fenech moved to Balzan.
He made his debut in the 1-0 victory over Qormi FC in the BOV Premier League on the 10 January where he had a very satisfactory performance. During his first five months with the Club, he played thirteen matches and scored one goal.
