Usain Bolt offered trial by Championship side Burton after retirement from sprinting
Brewers chairman Ben Robinson invites the legendary Olympian to the Pirelli Stadium as he aims to embark on his dream of becoming a professional footballer
USAIN BOLT would be welcome to come on trial at Championship side Burton.
The legendary sprinter, 30, wants to make it as a footballer now he has hung up his running spikes.
He is set to train with Borussia Dortmund - though a move to the Bundesliga giants is highly unlikely.
Yet the door has been opened to a switch to England's second tier with Nigel Clough’s Albion.
The unlikely opportunity comes after Brewers chairman Ben Robinson revealed a trial offer would be forthcoming should Bolt be interested.
Supremo Robinson, 71, told SunSport: “I’m sure we would (offer a trial) and that the manager would. He’s quick, if nothing else!
“He’s done great for his sport athletics and if you look at Adam Gemili who was in the 4x100m relay he played football when he was younger.
“We would be very interested, obviously.

“I’m sure the manager would give him a trial. He’s done a tremendous amount for his sport.
“If he can apply the same amount of enthusiasm and dedication to soccer then who knows what might lie ahead?
“The standard is very high (in the Championship) and obviously he would need a level of talent to get his place in the team.”
But after pulling his hamstring in his final race at the World Championships in London last week, the 30-year-old athlete might not be fit to offer his services to the EFL side.
A source said: “This has been his dream for many years. He’s desperate to do it as long as he can get over the injury.”
Bolt will have to cut down on his partying, however, if he is serious about making it as a footballer.
As we exclusively revealed earlier, the fun-loving star owned rum and cognac at an all-night bash in the run up to his final race.
Video obtained by The Sun also shows the track legend dancing with girls and taking a turn on the decks at a barbecue celebrating a late friend’s life at the family’s home in West London.
