SYDNEY — Eight-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt will trial for six weeks with the Central Coast Mariners from next month in a deal which could see him play for a season in Australian football’s A-League.
Australian football agent Tony Rallis said Monday a "deal between the Mariners and Usain Bolt in principle has been agreed, subject to a couple of benchmarks."
Rallis said it would be necessary for the 31-year-old Bolt to trial and for Football Federation Australia to support his salary.
"Once the FFA comes back and says that they’ll be part of the process, we’re going to the trial," Rallis said.
