Usain Bolt has scored his first and second goals for Central Coast Mariners in an A-League trial match.

Bolt made his first start for the A-League side against Macarthur South West United, in a game he admitted was his last chance to earn a pro deal.

The legendary Olympian started up front alongside former Fulham, Leeds and Aston Villa striker Ross McCormack.

After previously sending a header wide of the post, the Jamaican netted his first goal, moving like lightning and bolting away from a defender before firing underneath the goalkeeper.
