Former Newcastle Jets player Andy Brennan has become Australia’s first professional male footballer to come out as gay while still playing the game.

The 26-year-old, who made five appearances for the Jets in 2016 and now plays for Victorian NPL side Green Gully, made the announcement in a social media post on Tuesday night.

He said he had spent many years of uncertainty about his sexuality and the reaction such an announcement would get, but came to the conclusion that being open was the best way for him to feel comfortable.

“I’m gay,” he wrote in an essay published by Professional Footballers Australia, the players’ union. “It’s incredible saying that now; it feels amazing. And weirdly, it doesn’t feel like a big deal. Really in 2019, it shouldn’t be.

“But I couldn’t be happier that despite taking so long, ruminating over this decision for so many years and being entirely unsure about myself, I can finally come out and say it.”

He joins Ian Roberts as the only top-level Australian sportsman in the major football codes to ever have come out as gay while still playing. Roberts, a former NRL player, came out in 1995.

Antoine Griezmann has told Atletico Madrid he will leave the club this summer with La Liga rivals Barcelona set to pay his £108m release clause, according to reports.

In a farewell message on the club's website, the forward said: "It's been an incredible five years; Thank you very much for everything, I take you in the heart."

Griezmann, 28, has been linked with a move to Atletico's La Liga rivals Barcelona since last year, and speculation has only intensified since the Catalonian club were embarrassed by Liverpool in the Champions League semi-final.

Barcelona are ready to pay Griezmann's £108m release clause.

Griezmann joined from Real Sociedad in 2014. Last season he helped Atletico win the Europa League.

Where I currently live in Jos is close to a teaching hospital and as such light is relatively constant.


Before then though, it was crappy and still is sometimes, so what I did was get two INEC powerbanks, that didn't solve the problem as much as I expected. I later got a medium size Firman generator early this year.


How it works now is; I charge the powerbanks round the clock with Nepa light, then use on blackout or brown out days. When it runs out, I power the banks with the generator for 6hours while working as well.


That way. I'm never out of power.

Again, Jos has been good because I've been using 3k fuel for over 4months. I still have a full tank and some in the gallon.

True. on a large scale, jos is trying in terms of power supply compared to some states. I served in jos. Some days, we enjoyed light for up to 15hrs especially weekends.

only God knows how many times he watched party on xvideos

this guy is a spiritual blonder. who are you to be a judge? if you were placed under judgement will u stand...yes there are fake pastors everywhere, leave them and God. no matter what you do or say they'll keep multiplying cos this is the end time. instead of wasting ur Instagram followers on criticizing pastors, why not continue to preach what you think is correct and win souls. Only God can judge.

at least the ipob made an attempt to make him look better,afonjas would have used him for money ritual

Iol...from a lil research I did, my conclusion is that they're making him look nice before sowing him as a seed to the gods...the gods wouldn't want a trashy- like offering. if u know u know
