Writing on Twitter, the Surrey-born player said: “With this being the first ever EIHL #PrideWeekend I feel now is the best time to speak about what I have known for many years.
“I have battled with mental health problems over this issue and with the support, understanding, and acceptance from my family, friends, and teammates, I finally feel ready to say; I’m bisexual.
“I have never been more proud to wear a jersey before, especially one that celebrates all gender identities and sexualities.”
