Henson on ‘unpaid leave’ as rugby future unclear

GAVIN HENSON’S rugby future has once again been thrown into doubt with reports claiming the Wales centre is on unpaid, indefinite leave from the Ospreys.

Rumours have circulated in recent months that Henson’s recurring injury problems had prompted him to give serious thought to quitting the game.

Henson, pictured, last week stressed his desire to return to the game, but Ospreys head coach Sean Holley claimed he did not know why the former British and Irish Lions star was currently absent from the club.
