Huddersfield Town defender Mathias Jørgensen has proudly announced that he will be wearing rainbow laces against Manchester City this weekend, to show his support for the Stonewall campaign.

The Rainbow Laces campaign will see all Premier League club captains wear a rainbow armband this weekend, and a number of players will also don the celebratory laces.

In an interview with the club's official website, Jørgensen explained why he's backing the laces campaign this weekend, and expressed how important the cause is to him, Jørgensen said:

"I think it’s pretty straight forward. I believe that football is for everyone and I’m against every form of discrimination; it’s as simple as that.
