Blackpool forward came out as gay in May 2022Daniels claims Henderson sent him message of support
The Blackpool forward, Jake Daniels, has said it was a “slap in the face” when Jordan Henderson moved to play in Saudi Arabia.
Last year, Daniels became the first openly gay active British male professional footballer since Justin Fashanu in 1990. In an interview with the BBC’s Newsbeat, Daniels claimed Henderson had messaged him to show his support afterwards, but that his decision to join Al-Ettifaq shows “money must mean more to people”.
