Robbie Rodgers ponders training with LA Galaxy

Robbie Rodgers admits he may approach LA Galaxy about training with them.

The former Leeds United midfielder announced he was gay in December upon his retirement.

"Most days I wake up and I go to my computer and look at my emails and then go onto the football sites," he told the New York Times.

"Football will always be part of me. I don't know if I'm done playing yet. I might ask [the coach] Bruce Arena if I can train with LA Galaxy - we'll see. I miss it and think about it a lot. But I'm so happy now I don't want to mess with that. Football was my life and maybe I'll need to go back … or maybe I'll just be a fan. But it's an industry where there are lots of problems - from sketchy agents to homophobic culture."
