The Central Coast Mariners have confirmed that Usain Bolt has committed to an indefinite training period with the Club, with hopes of turning the "world's fastest man" into a professional soccer player.

The 31-year-old Jamaican has already trained with Borussia Dortmund, South African club Sundowns and Norway's Stromsgodset in the past two years, but no formal offers to date.

However, the eight-time Olympic champion and the 100m and 200m world record holder remains hopeful of achieving his soccer dreams. 

Bolt took to his official website to announce the news: “I just want to say thanks to everybody at the Central Coast Mariners for giving me this opportunity to play professional football in the A-League. I’m looking forward the opportunities to prove that with hard work anything is possible. So, I’m looking forward to it, and I’m gonna come here to do my best. Watch out, I’m on the way. Remember, I don’t take limits.”
