Usain Bolt debuts for Stromsgodset

Former Jamaican Marathon Champion turned footballer Usain Bolt appeared as a substitute for Stromsgodset in their 1-0 defeat to Norway Under-19s on Tuesday.

He began training with the Norwegian club towards the end of last month as he bids goodbye to his marathon career.

The 31-year-old, who has also spent time with German giants Borussia Dortmund, has previously not been shy in revealing his desire to one day represent Manchester United.

The Jamaican will also play at Soccer Aid this weekend, but he was in club action on Tuesday as he played the final 20 minutes of Stromsgodset’s 1-0 loss to Norway Under-19s.

Bolt wore the number 9.58 – the time of his 100-metre world record – and according to various reports, spurned an excellent late chance to equalise for two-time Norwegian Premier League champions Stromsgodset.
