JORDAN HENDERSON apologised today for any hurt he has caused to the LGBTQ+ community and insists his move to Saudi Arabia can help the gay rights movement.
The England midfielder was a high-profile and vocal supporter of LGBTQ+ rights as Liverpool captain but has been heavily criticised after agreeing to a lucrative switch to Saudi Pro League club Al-Ettifaq.
In an interview with The Athletic, the 33-year-old said the angry reaction to his move to a country which criminalises homosexuality has hurt him and hopes his presence in Saudi Arabia can help bring about positive change.
