Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson insists he has “no regrets” about moving to Saudi Arabia despite the public backlash.The midfielder had been a high-profile supporter of LGBTQ+ rights during his time at Anfield and last month apologised for any hurt he caused by moving to a country where homosexuality is illegal.Asked in an interview with Channel 4 whether he had regrets about moving to Saudi Arabia, he said: “No regrets.
“My values haven’t changed as a person just because I’m going to a different country to play football.”Henderson says the booing may have been in part due to an interview he conducted shortly after his move where he claimed the eye-watering wages were not a factor.“Of course it hurts because every time you pull on that shirt it’s a proud moment and I’m playing for my team-mates, for my country and for the fans.
“I asked that question and a journalist said it was because I play in Saudi Arabia. It was a decision I made months ago now that doesn’t change who I am as a person.and maybe some of the stuff that came out didn’t come out in the way that I thought I said it.
