Usain Bolt is registered to play for a Sunday league team in Manchester, with the Olympic champion set to make another foray into football.
The former sprint star, who still holds the world records for the 100m and 200m, has appeared on the squad list for Wythenshawe FC Veterans over-35s on the Football Association Full-Time website.
The team play in the Cheshire Veterans League, and feature a side made up of former top-level professionals.
Managed by former Manchester City and Republic of Ireland midfielder Stephen Ireland, the line-up also includes Danny Drinkwater, Antonio Valencia, Joleon Lescott, Emile Heskey, Marc Albrighton and Papiss Cisse.
Bolt, 40, is a major football fan, and has harboured an ambition to build a professional career in the sport since retiring following the World Championships in 2017.
His athletic career saw him win eight gold medals across three Olympics, and skyrocket to global fame.
The Jamaican became known for his trademark victory pose.
The star filed a patent application for the distinctive stance to market a range of products including sunglasses, jewellery, hats and sporting goods.
He briefly played for the Australian A-League team Central Coast Mariners.
The Manchester United supporter has also been a regular participant in Soccer Aid charity matches over the last decade.
He has also trained with other clubs across the world, most notably German heavyweights Borussia Dortmund.
Wythenshawe, yet to announce Bolt's signing, have been contacted for comment.
