Usain Bolt boots n all in his debut for the mariners

Usain Bolt has hung up his spikes and put on the boots for his debut pre-season trial match with the Central Coast Mariners. 10,000 fans packed Gosford’s Central Coast stadium on Friday August 31st to see the world’s fastest man show off his fancy footwork on the pitch. The entire stadium erupted as Usain was brought into the game and made his first play.

The 8-time Olympic Gold medallist is making the Central Coast home indefinitely as he puts in the hard yards to get his football career up and running.

The A-league season kicks off next month. All eyes will be on Usain to play a part in the Mariner’s future success.

No doubt you’ll see Usain having his own little adventure on the Central Coast, spending a bit of his down time at the beautiful beaches, tasty eateries and chilled out nightlife.
