Robbie Rogers is an American professional soccer player who plays for Los Angeles Galaxy in Major League Soccer.
In February 2013, Rogers came out as gay, becoming the second male footballer in Britain to do so after Justin Fashanu came out in 1990.
In May 2013, he became the first openly gay man to compete in a top North American professional sports league when he played his first match for the Galaxy.
Robbie joined Leeds on an initial two-week trial period in December 2011, before signing on a permanent basis a month later, in January 2012.
