Usain Bolt in talks with Australian football club

    Usain Bolt is in talks to play football with a club in Australia.

    The eight-time Olympic champion is negotiating a six-week stint with the Central Coast Mariners, a team in the country's A-League competition.

    Bolt, 31, has previously trained with clubs in Germany, Norway and South Africa.

    Mariners chief executive Shaun Mielekamp said the club had spent four months pursuing the Jamaican, and a season-long deal could follow.
