Bolt has been offered contract, says agent
sydney — Usain Bolt’s long-time agent Ricky Simms said on Sunday that the eight-time Olympic sprint gold medallist had received an ALeague contract offer from the Central Coast Mariners, but did not provide any further details.
“In response to the media stories, yes, Usain has been offered a contract. I do not want to make any further comment at this stage,” Simms told
If so, no one told Mariners coach Mike Mulvey, who, speaking after his side’s 1-1 draw with the Brisbane Roar, not only denied any knowledge of a contract offer, but wondered if Bolt could fit into the team.
“You have a look at our front line today and you wonder whether he could get into any of those positions, wouldn’t you?” Mulvey said. “I do appreciate how important this story is for the rest of the world.” —
