A teenage footballer from a Championship club is reportedly going to come out as gay next week and become the only current openly homosexual male professional player in Britain.
The Sun reports that he plans to make the announcement in a TV interview and has the backing of his club and teammates. It's claimed he is "very relaxed" about his sexuality and wants to "break the stigma".
A source told the paper: "The player told club officials and his manager about this a few weeks ago and his family already knew. The club made it very clear it was his decision and they would back what he wanted to do.
