The Jamaican sprint icon is hoping a trial spell with Central Coast Mariners will lead to him earning a professional contract in the world of football
Usain Bolt is a “phenomenal athlete” and would be a great addition for the A-League if he signs a deal with Central Coast Mariners, says former Newcastle Jets striker Emile Heskey.
The retired sprinter, who won eight Olympic gold medals during an iconic athletics career, is looking to move into football at the age of 32.
He has been given an opportunity to prove himself in Australia, with a training stint with the Gosford-based Mariners offering him a chance to earn a professional contract.
