Usain Bolt gets two-year contract offer to play for Maltese club Valletta FC
Los Angeles, Oct 16 (IBNS): Iconic Jamaican Athlete Usain Bolt has been offered a two-year contract to play for Maltese club Valletta FC , media reports said on Tuesday.
Valletta managing director and CEO Ghasston Slimen told ESPN on Monday that they hope to sign the eight-time Olympic sprint champion in time for him to participate in their Maltese Super Cup match on Dec. 13 against Balzan.
"A champion is always welcome and at Valletta FC we believe nothing is impossible," said Slimen, adding that he hoped Bolt could pave the way for more athletes to switch sports.
Bolt's football skills earned attention when he scored two goals for Central Coast Mariners of Australia's A-League during a friendly match against Macarthur South West United.
Agent Tony Rallis, who is representing Bolt while he is in Australia, had told ESPN earlier on Monday that "there is a club in Europe that has offered Bolt a two-year deal. They have been taken over by new owners who have aspirations of Champions League football."
