Newly named captain Matt Simon says Usain Bolt has made immense strides since arriving at Central Coast but is refusing to shed light on whether the Jamaican superstar will remain at the A-League club.
The Mariners have shut down talk of Bolt signing a contract before their season opener against Brisbane on Sunday as the eight-time Olympic gold medallist continues to trial for a spot.
ESPN exclusively revealed on Tuesday that Valletta FC have tabled a two-year offer to Bolt, who trained with the reserves during the Mariners team session on Wednesday, but Central Coast say they won’t be rushed into any knee-jerk response.
Suddenly, after his two-goal performance in a trial against Macarthur South West United at the weekend, the question has shifted from will Bolt earn a contract to will he stay?
