Usain Bolt And Central Coast Mariners Will Need Third-party Financier To Work Out A Deal
Retired sprint Usain Bolt is close to actualising his dream of switching career to football with Australian side Coaster Mariners, but his chances of getting a contract remain unlikely unless a third party financier comes in on the deal.
The club are considering a contract proposal for the eight Olympic gold medallist in two terms - football and commercial - and realised that they are not financially buoyant enough to sign him on without an assistance from "external" body.
In a statement released by the club, it confirmed the 32-year-old has shaped into a potential footballer since he started training with them, and believes that "he will improve further with more individual intense training and competitive game time."
Speaking about working out a deal with the Jamaican sprint legend the club continued in their statement that it "does not have the luxury to be able to do this in the Hyundai A-League."
It explained further that "without the financial contribution of an external third-party, it is unlikely that Usain Bolt, and the Central Coast Mariners will agree to terms."
Bolt scored two goal for the Australian side during a friendly match, and last month, he declined a two-year contract presented to him by Maltese side Valletta FC.
