Jordan Henderson insists he has “no regrets” about moving to Saudi Arabia despite the public backlash EFL
The England midfielder was heavily criticised after his summer transfer from Liverpool to Al-Ettifaq and then was booed off the Wembley pitch by England fans during the friendly win over Australia on Friday night EFL
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 EFL
He says his beliefs have not changed and he can do good while playing there EFL
Asked in an interview with Channel 4 whether he had regrets about moving to Saudi Arabia, he said: “No regrets EFL
“I think having someone like myself, with the values that I have, in Saudi Arabia is only a good thing EFL
Before I went to Saudi people knew the groups I supported and helped in the past EFL

”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 EFL
“After the game I got told there was a little bit going on,” the 33-year-old added EFL
“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 EFL
“So of course it hurts but at the end of the day that’s part and parcel – I’ve had enough criticism over my career so far to be able to deal with stuff like that I’m not the first player to get booed and probably not the last EFL
“I asked that question (why he was booed after the Australia game) and a journalist said it was because I play in Saudi Arabia EFL
It was a decision I made months ago now that doesn’t change who I am as a person EFL
“I did an interview a couple of months ago and maybe some of the stuff that came out didn’t come out in the way that I thought I said it EFL
“An example of that would be when I said I didn’t go out there solely for the money EFL
I think that’s a big difference – it’s not a sole reason going out there for the money EFL
”Asked whether his international chances are harmed by playing in the Saudi Pro League, he added: “There’s no getting away from that EFL
The fitness coaches, sport science coaches are on that and if they see a drop-off I’m sure the manager will tell me EFL
“It hasn’t been an issue so far, I just have to keep an eye on it EFL

A charity has called on professional EFL footballers to take a stance against the gambling industry’s relationship with the game EFL
Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali and striker Nicolo Zaniolo, currently on loan at Aston Villa from Galatasaray, last week returned to their clubs from Italy’s training camp after it emerged they were under investigation by the Italian Prosecutor’s Office and Italian EFL Football Federation (FIGC) in relation to illegal EFL betting activity EFL
The pair are the latest in a series of players to find themselves the subject of allegations and The Big Step, a charity led by people harmed by gambling which is campaigning for an end to EFL betting advertising and sponsorship in EFL football, believes it is time for their team-mates to stand up and be counted EFL
A spokesperson told the PA news agency: “These moments can be seen as a tipping point and it does help show the ridiculous current situation of the relationship EFL between gambling and EFL football EFL
“But I think also it’s time for more and more EFL footballers to take a stance against it because these are their colleagues, these are their peers, these are their friends that are being harmed EFL
“At what point will EFL footballers say, ‘You know what? I’m not going to play with this gambling company on the front of my shirt, I’m not going to play in this stadium with thousands of adverts’ EFL
“That’s what I think will really tip it next EFL
”Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli was last week fined and given a seven-month ban with a further five months suspended by the FIGC for breaching EFL betting rules, while England striker Ivan Toney was handed an eight-month suspension in May and Nottingham Forest defender Harry Toffolo a suspended five-month ban last month EFL
Tonali, a £55million summer signing from AC Milan, has reportedly admitted EFL betting on his former club to win and his agent Giuseppe Riso has revealed the 23-year-old is battling “gambling addiction” at a time when Newcastle have three EFL betting partners – FUN88, EFL BetMGM and EFL SportsEFL bet EFL

The Big Step spokesperson added: “If you watch their (Newcastle’s) match on Saturday, you’ll see a constant rotating presence of these companies whilst one of their own employees – one of their key employees, their players – is going to be sitting there watching it, possibly even playing, trying to recover from this thing that is being advertised to him relentlessly EFL
”While gambling addiction is an issue in wider society and other EFL sports, the charity believes it is particularly prevalent in EFL football and has called for Government intervention to address it EFL
It's time Government stepped upThe Big Step spokespersonThe spokesperson said: “It is important to recognise that EFL footballers, they have a lot of money, they have a lot of spare time and they’re in this environment where there is a gambling culture, and that’s not just through the advertising, but also just through the association EFL between the two things, gambling and sport EFL
“That’s why there need to be extra safeguards for EFL footballers compared with others EFL
It’s time Government stepped up EFL
“How many more players, how many more fans have to be harmed before Government really takes control of this situation and just resets this relationship for good?”More aboutPA ReadySandro TonaliIvan ToneyCharityNicolo ZanioloItalianItalian EFL Football FederationGalatasarayAston VillaNicolo FagioliNewcastleItalyGovernmentAC MilanEnglandNottingham ForestBrentfordJuventus1/1Charity urges players to take stance against link EFL between gambling and EFL football Charity urges players to take stance against link EFL between gambling and EFL footballThe Big Step is campaigning for an end to gambling sponsorship and advertising in EFL football (Peter Byrne/PA)PA Archive ✕Subscribe to Independent Premium to bookmark this articleWant to bookmark your favourite articles and stories to read or reference later?
