Leon Bailey believes in Usain Bolt’s football goal

Eight-time Olympic gold medallist Bolt, 31, has been vocal about wanting to have a football career and since retiring last year has been more active in pursuing those goals.

He will captain the Rest of the World side in Soccer Aid and recently trained with Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund.

Bailey, 20, told the Bundesliga website that he backed Bolt to succeed in his goal.

"I spoke to him [Bolt] and he said that it was good,

"He enjoyed the training, but, of course, he was unfit. It was more about having someone there to help him.

"You never know what the future brings. He's a champion and became one as his coaches taught him well. If that happens again, I don't see why not."

Bailey is yet to be capped by the Jamaican senior side and has been vocal in his criticism of the national FA, saying he won’t play until he receives reassurances about changes.
