Sydney, Aug 18 (IBNS): Olympic medalist sprinter Usain Bolt has arrived in Australia to train with an Australian soccer club.  

The eight-time Olympic gold medallist has been given the chance to prove his worth by the A-League's Central Coast Mariners, who have agreed to let him train with the team indefinitely in his pursuit of a contract, reported Sky News.
