Usain Bolt Offered 2-Year Contract by Maltese Club Valletta

Valletta FC, a club in the Maltese Premier League, offered a two-year contract to former Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, ESPN FC's Stephanie Brantz and Tom Hamilton reported Monday.

"A champion is always welcome, and at Valletta FC we believe nothing is impossible," Valletta managing director and CEO Ghasston Slimen said of the possible move.

Bolt's agent, Tony Rallis, had told Brantz and Hamilton that a European club recently "taken over by new owners who have aspirations of Champions League football" had put a two-year deal on the table.

In August, Bolt signed on for a trial with the Central Coast Mariners of the Australian A-League.
