‘I didn’t get a fair chance’ at Mariners, says Bolt – The World Game
Usain Bolt thinks he wasn’t given a fair crack of the whip during his time trialling with the Central Coast Mariners.
Olympic legend Bolt, at the age of 32, spent a few months on trial with the A-League club at the end of 2018.
Mariners then-coach Mike Mulvey said he would give Bolt up to a year with them as the sprint king sought a contract to begin a post-athletics professional football career.
Ultimately he could not break into Mulvey’s A-League squad, and after appearing in two friendlies (scoring two goals) an agreement could not be reached on a contract and Bolt departed Australia.
