Eight‑time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt's agent has confirmed the star could be on his way to the A‑League, after agreeing to a deal “in principle” with the Central Coast Mariners.
31-year-old Bolt is set for a six‑week trial with the Mariners starting next month with a season‑long deal on the table should he make the grade.
Bolt, a Manchester United fan who attended the World Cup final in Moscow, retired from the track after the world championships in London last year.
He has since trialled with German giants Borussia Dortmund.
The Mariners firmed as Bolt's most likely destination after taking the sprint king's ambitions seriously, despite interest from several A‑League clubs.
