Eight-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt is in talks for a trial to play football in Australia, a club says.
The Jamaican former sprinter, 31, is negotiating a six-week stint with the Central Coast Mariners, a team in the country's A-League competition.
Mariners chief executive Shaun Mielekamp said the club had spent four months pursuing Bolt, and a season-long deal could follow.
Football agent Tony Rallis said a deal had been agreed "in principle".
Mr Rallis, who has been involved in the deal, told local Sky Sports Radio that negotiations continued over Bolt's pay.
Wow, quite a switch .
If this is the path he chooses, best of luck to him!
