Malta club offers Bolt a contract

Sprint

king Usain Bolt could be making his way to Europe after being offered a two-year professional football contract in Malta, reports said yesterday, following his goal-scoring exploits in Australia.

Bolt, 32, has been on trial with A-League club the Central Coast Mariners since arriving in Australia in August in his bid to pursue a boyhood dream of becoming a footballer after retiring from athletics last year.

The 100 metres world record-holder scored his first two goals in professional football on Friday. (AFP)
