In the summer of 2023, Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson, after 12 years with the club, set out to conquer the Saudi pitches. But his stint in the Middle East was short-lived, and now he’s made a full return home.
Details: The 35-year-old midfielder is back in the Premier League, signing a two-year deal with Brentford. Henderson left Ajax as a free agent, meaning the Bees secured his transfer at absolutely no cost.
Quote: “When we found out Jordan was available, the decision was pretty straightforward. We did our due diligence by reviewing his recent matches to assess his form: physically, he’s still phenomenal and incredibly driven to achieve new successes, despite everything he’s already accomplished.
He also brings international experience with the England national team, and with that comes a certain level of maturity, professionalism, and commitment — exactly the kind of approach we want to see at our football club,” said Brentford head coach Keith Andrews.
