Josh Cavallo has accused his former A-League club Adelaide United of homophobia

Josh Cavallo has accused his former A-League club Adelaide United of homophobia and blocking him from playing after he came out as gay in 2021.

The 26-year-old left the Reds last year and moved from Australia to England where he now plays non-league football. He signed with Stamford AFC in the Southern League Premier Division Central last month.

“Leaving the club had nothing to do with football,” the former Australian under-20 international posted on Instagram on Tuesday about his departure from Adelaide.

“Decisions were made by people in power that blocked my opportunities, not because of my talent, but because of who I choose to love.”

Cavallo said that during his time at the club, “it became clear that I wasn’t allowed on the pitch because of politics”.

“It’s hard to swallow when I realised my own club was homophobic,” he said.
