Usain Bolt trains with South African football club, Mamelodi Sundowns

Jamaican athlete Usain Bolt teamed up with South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns in their training center today as the eighth-year Olympic gold medalist visits the country as part of a program Athletics Development South Africa.   The 2016 African champions announced the arrival of Bolt on their Twitter account and also posted a video of the Jamaican training with the team.   Bolt, who retired from athletics after the August World Championships in London, is famous for being a fan of Manchester United and has often spoken of his desire to play football.  "Good thing is he's a free agent! And he can play in a few positions," Sundowns manager Pitso Mosiname, cheekily said.

Bolt commented that  the transition from athletics to football is tough, he also thanked the club for the opportunity to train with the squad.

"It was a good game, a fun day and I really enjoyed it. I told the coach when I get back to Jamaica I need more training because I'm unfit. I told my friends we need to plan a trip to South Africa it's a beautiful country, I love the vibe here it's similar to Jamaica in that sense!" he said.
