EPL: Jordan Henderson Joins Brentford On Two-Year Deal

Brentford Football Club have confirmed the signing of former Liverpool captain and England international Jordan Henderson on a two-year contract.

The Club announced on Tuesday that the 34-year-old midfielder has arrived on a free transfer following his departure from Ajax this summer, marking his return to the Premier League after recent spells with Saudi Arabian side Al-Ettifaq and Dutch giants Ajax.

Henderson, who has earned 84 caps for England, brings a wealth of experience to the Bees, having spent 12 years at Liverpool.

During his time at Anfield, he won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, two League Cups, the Community Shield, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup. He also served as club captain from 2015, succeeding Steven Gerrard.

“When we became aware of Jordan’s availability, it was a pretty simple decision,” Andrews said. “We did our due diligence around his recent games to see where he is: he’s still phenomenally fit and he’s still phenomenally motivated to achieve things in the game, having already achieved a lot.

“He will drive standards and be a brilliant addition to the squad.”

Andrews highlighted Henderson’s leadership credentials, noting: “Jordan has been one of the most influential leaders in modern Premier League years. He’s been at the forefront of driving for titles and Champions Leagues at a fantastic football club.”

Henderson began his career at Sunderland, making his Premier League debut at 18 and going on to make 70 top-flight appearances before his move to Liverpool in 2011. He featured in 492 matches for the Reds, scoring 33 goals.
