Bolt quits Australian club

Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt has finished his football trial at Central Coast Mariners and will leave the club after failing to agree commercial terms, the A-League side said yesterday.

The Jamaican’s mission to secure a professional contract in Australia at the age of 32 dominated pre-season. However, his performances in training and trial matches over the last two months did little to remove doubts about the eight-time Olympic gold medallist’s chances of making the grade. (Reuters)
