Usain Bolt Joins South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns In Training Section
It appears Usain Bolt is finally making a transition from sprint to football, as the former fastest man of earth was spotted in a training section with South African side Mamelodi Sundowns on Monday.
The football team announced the arrival of the 31-year-old Jamaican, who currently holds the 100m and 200m world title holder at the club, with a post of a picture of the ace with the team to Twitter account.
"Mamelodi Sundown had a special guest in the training session on Mondaymorning at the club's base in Chloorkop, sprint Usain Bolt," the club's post to Twitter reads
The eight-time Olympic gold medallist in a tweet, praised the team for time spent with them and looked forward for joining them at more training section but admitted he is not yet fit to make a proper player.
"It was a good game, a fun day and I really enjoyed it. I told the coach when I get back to the Jamaica I need more training because i'm unfit," the sprint legend admitted transitioning to a footballer has not been a easy one.
In March last year, rumour sparked the Olympic medallist planned to change career to a footballer after he had announced his retirement from sprint when he was invited to a training section with a Bundesliga's Borussia Dortmund.
