Usain Bolt to tryout at Australia football club

Eight-time Olympic gold medalist, retired sprinter Usain Bolt, who is the world record holder in the 100 and 200 meters, continues his efforts to become a football player.

The 31-year-old athlete will have a six-week tryout at the Central Coast Mariners, which play at the A-League—the top flight of the Australian football league system, reported The Daily Telegraph.

And if the tryout is successful, the parties will sign a one-year deal.
