Usain Bolt Scores Twice On First Start For Australia Central

Sprint legend Usain Bolt scored his first goals in professional football today after starting up front in a pre-season game for Australia’s Central Coast Mariners.

The 100 meters world record-holder, who is bidding for a professional contract, recovered from a painful kick in the groin to grab a double against Macarthur South West United in Sydney.

Bolt, 32, finished with his left foot after some slack marking on 55 minutes, celebrating with his trademark ‘Lightning Bolt‘ pose.



“I’m just happy that I got a chance and I’m proud of myself,” Bolt told host broadcaster Fox Sports after the game. It was a big deal… first start and scoring two goals. It was a good feeling. This is what I worked towards. I try to get better and I am on the way to doing that.”
