Brentford Football Club has signed Premier League and Champions League-winning captain Jordan Henderson on a two-year deal.
An England international with 84 caps for the Three Lions, Henderson, joins the Bees on a free transfer after departing Dutch Eredivisie side, AFC Ajax, this summer.
The English midfielder makes his way back to the Premier League after short spells in Saudi Arabia with Al-Ettifaq and then in the Netherlands with Ajax.
Before his move away from England, Henderson was with Liverpool, where he stayed twelve (12) years and clinched the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, two League Cups, Community Shield, Super Cup and Club World Cup.
According to the Club’s official website, Keith Andrews, Head Coach of Brentford, said: “When we became aware of Jordan’s availability, it was a pretty simple decision.
““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.
“With the void of experienced players leaving the building – Christian Nørgaard, Mark Flekken and Ben Mee – it was important to replace that.
“what Jordan will bring is that he 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.
“He also has experience at international level with England and, with that, comes a level of experience, professionalism and dedication to his profession – that’s the exact way we want to be as a football club.”
Jordan Henderson was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2021 Birthday Honours for services to football and to charity.
