Jordan Henderson Joins Brentford After Ajax Exit

News summary

Jordan Henderson, 35, has signed a two-year deal to join Brentford after mutually agreeing to terminate his contract with Ajax a year early. The former Liverpool captain, who led Ajax to Champions League qualification, prioritized returning to the Premier League to strengthen his chances for inclusion in Thomas Tuchel's England squad for the 2026 World Cup. Henderson declined offers from European clubs including Porto, opting for Brentford where he will reunite with former Liverpool teammates and is expected to assume a key leadership role under new manager Keith Andrews. His move follows a turbulent period that included a brief, controversial spell at Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia and a season in the Netherlands. In his farewell, Henderson thanked Ajax, referencing the recent loss of his former teammate Diogo Jota. Brentford view Henderson's experience as vital as the club undergoes significant changes after several major departures.
