Sydney, October 16
Sprint king Usain Bolt could be making his way to Europe after being offered a two-year professional football contract in Malta, reports said on Tuesday, following his goal-scoring exploits in Australia.
Bolt, 32, has been on trial with A-League club 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 when he started a pre-season game against second-tier Macarthur South West United in Sydney.
Sydney’s Daily Telegraph said Malta club Valletta FC had made a formal offer which includes playing in its upcoming cup final.
The 32-year-old Jamaican previously tried out with clubs in Germany, South Africa and Norway to no avail. — AFP
