The former Liverpool captain believes his move to Al-Ettifaq will be a «good», but recognises the «frustration».
Jordan Henderson has apologised to the LGBTQ+ community following his departure from Liverpool for Saudi Arabia, independent.co.uk reports.
Henderson, who has been a leading voice in the Rainbow Laces campaign and has worn a rainbow armband when captaining Liverpool, caused controversy this summer with his move to Saudi Arabia, where homosexuality is illegal.
«I can understand the frustration [from the LGBTQ+ community]», Henderson told The Athletic. «I can understand the anger. I get it. All I can say around that is that I’m sorry that they feel like that. My intention was never, ever to hurt anyone. My intention has always been to help causes and communities where I felt like they have asked for my help».
