Bolt 'just signed for a team'

Athletics legend Usain Bolt announced yesterday that he has 'signed for a football team' and will disclose who he has joined later today. The eight-time Olympic gold medallist took to Twitter to post a video in which he confirmed his move to professional football. “I've just signed for a football team. Find out who it is on Tuesday 27th February,” Bolt said in the video. Bolt is a well known fan of Manchester United and has previously had a trial with German side Borussia Dortmund in a bid to kickstart his football career. At the age of 31, the sprinter is eyeing a fresh challenge having retired from the athletics track following the 2017 IAAF World Championships in London. After the video was posted, fans were quick to speculate as to who will be the team Bolt has chosen to represent with United, Dortmund, Arsenal, Real Madrid and even Accrington Stanley suggested.
