Former Everton star Tim Cahill has made the move into motorsport.
Cahill, who notched 278 appearances and 68 goals in all competitions during his eight-year stint at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2012, is part of a group that will enter the first ever Asia-Pacific team into Extreme E, the electric off-road motor racing series.
The ex-Australian international, 42, who also represented Millwall, New York Red Bulls, Shanghai Shenhua, Hangzhou Greentown, Melbourne City and Indian Super League side Jamshedpur before retiring in 2019 following a professional career spanning more than two decades, is part of XE Sports Group, a subsidiary of EVDirect.com, a firm that is the distributor of BYD electric vehicles, a Chinese automotive firm backed by US billionaire Warren Buffett, around Australia and New Zealand.
