Jordan Henderson Set for Premier League Return with Brentford on Two-Year Deal
Former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is set to make a surprising return to the Premier League, with reports confirming his imminent move to Brentford Football Club, two years after he left Anfield.
The 35-year-old England international is expected to join the Bees on a two-year contract, following the termination of his deal with Ajax earlier this week. His arrival comes as a timely reinforcement for Brentford, who are seeking to fill the void left by former captain Christian Nørgaard, recently signed by Arsenal.
Henderson’s transfer is anticipated to be officially announced in the coming days, marking yet another chapter in the veteran midfielder’s storied career.
This move will see Henderson return to the English top flight after departing Liverpool in 2023. During his 12-year tenure at the Merseyside club, he enjoyed a glittering spell, winning an impressive list of honours including:
-
Premier League (ending Liverpool’s 30-year title drought)
-
Champions League
-
FA Cup
-
Two League Cups
-
FIFA Club World Cup
-
UEFA Super Cup
-
Community Shield
After leaving Liverpool, Henderson joined Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League, but his stint there lasted less than six months. In January 2024, he made the switch to Dutch side Ajax, where he spent just under a year before mutually parting ways with the Eredivisie club.
Now, as he prepares to don the Brentford shirt, Henderson brings with him a wealth of experience, leadership, and top-level pedigree—qualities that could prove invaluable for the West London side as they aim to remain competitive in the Premier League.
