Fox Sports, My Football Live App to show Bolt’s Mariners hit-out on Friday

Usain Bolt’s crucial Central Coast Mariners audition against Macarthur South West United will be shown live on Fox Sports tomorrow night.

Mariners boss Mike Mulvey had long earmarked his side’s clash with Macarthur South West United as a likely hit-out for the Jamaican trialist.

And it now looms as a pivotal moment in the 32-year-old’s bid for a professional footballing contract.

The match will be played at Campbelltown Sports Ground and kicks off at 7.30pm.

You can also stream the match on the My Football Live app.

‘Will we start him? Probably a good chance’: Bolt in line to start for Mariners

Tickets have already gone on sale for the game but if you can’t get to the ground you can see the eight-time Olympic gold medallist in action live on Fox Sports channel 503 from 7.30pm.

“This is going to be a big game. I think it will determine if the club makes up its mind on what to do with my career,” Bolt said.

“So, for me, it’s a very important game. I’m excited and looking forward to proving myself.”

Mike Mulvey added: “I think from a fitness perspective you could probably start him. Whether we do or not… probably a good chance.

“But we’ll weight it up as the week goes.

“He came on for 15-20 mins last time and he’ll play longer this time because his level of fitness has improved.

“It’s ok having a level of fitness – you need to then get the football fitness, which is very difficult.

“We’re quietly pleased with the way he’s improved.”
