Eight-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt has announced he is done pursuing a professional career in football after a brief stint last year with Australian A-league club Central Coast Mariners.
Bolt spent two months training with the Mariners but left in November after the club failed to find financial backing for a professional deal.
The 32 year old speaking to Reuters described his time in Australia as “A good experience. I really enjoyed just being in a team and it was different from track and field and it was fun while it lasted.”
The highlight of Bolt’s short-lived football career was a two-goal performance against Macarthur South West United on October 12.
