It was only after a talk with the Leinster coaches that he decided to reveal his sexual orientation to his teammates.
“My experience since then has been completely positive. I have understood that for those who love me they only want me to be happy“, assured the player of 27 years.
“If another person … continues to play his sport because he sees that a Leinster player has come out as gay and is accepted, that would be a fantastic consequence,” the US-born player added.
His announcement comes after that of his partner Jack Dunnesecond line, who revealed a year ago that he was bisexual.
