Usain Bolt has not committed to trialling with A-League club Central Coast Mariners, says the sprint king's agent Ricky Simms.

Australian media reported the eight-time Olympic gold medalist was set to head Down Under for a six-week trial with the Gosford-based club - in the hope of winning his first professional football contract.

But the 30-year-old Jamaican's agent says a move to Australia is far from confirmed and his client is still considering his options.

"We are looking at various possibilities for Usain in football - the A-League is one of them." Simms told Omnisport on Wednesday.
