Usain Bolt‘s bid for a pro soccer contract with an Australian club has ended.
Bolt and the Central Coast Mariners could not agree to a deal. The A-League club announced Friday that contract talks are over.
The Mariners offered Bolt a contract last month, at the end of his tryout deal, but said that they likely needed more money from an external party for Bolt to sign.
“There was a gap that we needed to try to fill, and in the time from then till now we haven’t been able to close that gap,” Mariners CEO Shaun Mielekamp said.
