Legendary Olympic sprinter and 100m world record holder Usain Bolt is looking to begin a career in football and is reportedly undergoing a trial at Champions League club Borussia Dortmund, according to the Mirror.

The Jamaican superstar won eight Olympic gold medals during his illustrious sprinting career and it is no secret that the 31-year old has always been interested in becoming involved in the footballing world. Bolt has already trained with his favourite club Manchester United and now he is looking forward to a trial at German giants Borussia Dortmund.

Speaking about the prospect the sprinter said: “Dortmund said the invitation is always open, so it is all about me getting over my injury and into shape. Then I can explore it and do the trials and see what level I am at. It’s a personal goal, I don’t care what people really think about it.”

According to reports various clubs have been in contact with Bolt looking to offer him an opportunity to play football at an incredibly high level. However it remains to be seen just how much game time the Jamaican will be able to conjure up and at what level his comfort zone will be located.
