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.

Bolt said he will wish to push and make himself an A-League material.

Central Coast Mariners tweeted:" .@usainbolt has landed!  The next step of his football journey is underway. Don't think limits. #CCMFC."

"I want to play football and get my opportunity. I'm going to show my best, as always," Bolt was quoted as saying by Sky News.
