Usain Bolt’s agent insists the sprint legend has been offered a deal by Central Coast Mariners – but the A-Leaguers’ manager claims he knows nothing about it.
Eight-time Olympic champ Bolt turned down a two-year deal from Maltese champions Valletta FC after netting twice for Australian side Mariners in a friendly.
And even though the 32-year-old was not in the squad for Sunday’s 1-1 draw in the A-League opener against Brisbane Roar, Bolt’s representative Ricky Sims said: “I can confirm Usain has been offered a contract by Central Coast Mariners.”
Yet Mariners coach Mike Mulvey was far more cautious when he responded.
He said: “I do appreciate how important this story is for the rest of the world, but if you have a look at our front line today you wonder if he could get into any of those positions, wouldn’t you?”
Mulvey added: “We don’t talk about speculation. I don’t know anything about what you’re talking about – and that’s the honest truth.
“I don’t know anything about that. I don’t talk about rumours or anything like that.
