It’s been a whirlwind of a transfer window this summer, and there’s one signing that has threatened to sneak under the radar. Away from the humongous prices that Premier League clubs have been forking out for some of the planet’s best footballing talent, ninth-tier Wythenshawe Vets have recently made a nifty addition of their own.They have acquired the services of none other than the former world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, a move the Jamaican mooted himself back in January.When asked by talkSPORT if he would join the club, the 40-year-old declared: ‘Listen, I’m ready. I’m ready. If I get into some shape, I’m ready to go.’Now, the final paperwork appears to be getting underway, with the FA’s Full-Time website having Bolt down as a registered player for the side.He is set to join a star-studded line-up, with the over-35s team based in south Manchester making a name for themselves last year after pulling together a squad jam-packed with former Premier League players.On their books this season includes former professionals such as England and Liverpool striker Emile Heskey, Everton striker Oumar Niasse, Manchester United captain Antonio Valencia, Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse, Manchester City duo Stephen Ireland and Nedum Onuoha and Premier League title winners Joleon Lescott and Danny Drinkwater. Bolt spent two months training with Australian side Central Coast Mariners in 2018, but left after the club failed to find financial backing for a professional deal The club have an unusual amount of quality within their ranks (Pictured: Papiss Cisse, George Boyd, Tom Rodgers, Blake Norton, Maynor Figueroa, Neil Chappell; BOTTOM ROW: Stephen Ireland, Danny Drinkwater, Owen Trainor, Ben Jackson, Rory Fallon)The Jamaican former sprinter, who continues to hold the 100m and 200m world record, is a football enthusiast.Beyond being a dedicated Manchester United fan who regularly attends matchdays, Bolt also had a crack at a professional football career a few years ago.He spent two months training with Australian side Central Coast Mariners in 2018, but left after the club failed to find financial backing for a professional deal. In October 2018, Bolt scored two goals on his first start for the Mariners in a friendly against Macarthur South West, celebrating with his trademark lightning bolt pose.And the A-League side were not the only team interested in signing Bolt – he turned down an offer from Maltese club Valletta, reportedly because the club could not meet his wage demands. He had also spent time training with Norwegian team Stromsgodset and German giants Borussia Dortmund.’It was fun while it lasted,’ he said at the time. ‘I don’t want to say it wasn’t dealt with properly, but I think we went about it not the way we should.’But he added: ‘You live and you learn. It was a good experience – I really enjoyed just being in a team.’Wythenshawe Vets has grown enormously through the power of social media, attracting several hundred spectators to Hollyhedge Park. The Jamaican former sprinter, who continues to hold the 100m and 200m world record, is a football enthusiast and dedicated Manchester United fanIreland, who has been a mainstay in the side over the last few years, has previously spoken about what the non-League side means to the ex-pros. ‘We’re all retired and it’s nice to get together to continue to play football, keep fit and also from the mental health side of things,’ he said last November.’A lot of lads can feel a bit stranded and alone when they come out of football. We all live in the same area so help each other.’We’re not here to take advantage of any standard around, this is purely to get some enjoyment and fitness. Hopefully the opposition see the positives in it as well.’
