Usain Bolt’s soccer career in Australia has come to an end with the announcement Friday that the Olympic sprint champion and the Central Coast Mariners have failed to reach a deal.
Bolt made the move from sprinter to soccer player this summer, joining the Mariners for an “indefinite training period.” He scored two goals in his first start for the club last month, a pre-season friendly.
“I would like to thank the Central Coast Mariners owners, management, staff, players and fans for making me feel so welcome during my time there. I wish the club success for the season ahead,” Bolt said, according to a statement published by the Mariners.
