Former Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt, who has won eight Olympic gold medals in his illustrious career, is all set to swap his spikes for studs as he revealed signing for a football team.
The 31-year-old, had posted a short 10-second video on Twitter, in which he said he would reveal the name of the club on Tuesday.
"I've just signed for a football team! Find out for who it is one this Tuesday, February 27," Bolt had said in the video posted on Twitter.
Bolt has always been outspoken of his desire to play football once his athletics career was over. He is a lifelong Manchester United fan, and had earlier this year confirmed that he is due to have a trial with Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund in March.

He also recently put forward his case to play as a striker for David Beckham’s Miami-based MLS team.
"One of my biggest dreams is to sign for Manchester United. If Dortmund say I'm good enough, I'll crack on and train hard. I've spoken to Alex Ferguson, and I told him he needs to put in a good word. He told me if I get fit and ready, he will see what he can do," Bolt was quoted as saying in January.
The eight-time Olympic Gold winner, who holds the world record for the 100m (9.58 seconds), the 200m (19.19 seconds) and the 4x100m relay (36.84 seconds), retired from athletics following the 2017 World Championships.
