Robbie Rogers signs for the LA Galaxy, just 100 days after he came out as gay and quit football.

United States midfielder Robbie Rogers has signed for the Los Angeles Galaxy - just 100 days after he came out as gay and quit football.

The Galaxy announced that they were getting the 26-year-old by securing first refusal on his signature from the Chicago Fire in an exchange that sees Mike Magee move to Toyota Park.

Rogers told the Galaxy's website: "I'd like to thank everyone at Major League Soccer, the LA Galaxy and the Chicago Fire for allowing me to return to playing the game that I love. I look forward to getting back out onto the field and continuing my soccer career as a member of the Galaxy."

Last night he posted a picture of himself in Galaxy kit on Twitter, adding: "An exciting future lies ahead, not only for me but for our society."

Rogers's last club was Leeds United before he turned his back on the game.
