Gavin Henson desperate for move to London club
Henson, 28, is on unpaid leave from the Ospreys, where he has a contract until May next year, but is desperate to find a club in London so he can rebuild his career while dealing with his off-pitch problems. Henson has not played rugby since injuring his ankle in March 2009, but it is no longer a fitness issue that is keeping him off the pitch. His break-up from entertainer Charlotte Church has left Henson living away from his young children, while he has been "embarrassed" by the way the situation has been played out in the newspapers.
"I had heart-to-heart talks with the Ospreys, I opened my heart to them really, told them what had gone on, I told them for compassionate reasons, for my mental state of mind, I need to go somewhere for the season," he told BBC Two's Scrum V in a special edition shown last night.
"I just want what is best for me and my family."
