Liverpool captain pens new deal

 

Liverpool have confirmed that Jordan Henderson has put pen to paper on a new deal at Anfield. 

 

His previous contract was set to expire in 2023, but the Reds have acted accordingly to extend his stay on Merseyside. 

 

"Jordan Henderson has signed a new contract with Liverpool Football Club to commit his long-term future to the Reds," a statement read on Liverpool's official website. 

 

"The captain put pen to paper on the deal at the AXA Training Centre on Tuesday, ensuring his 10-year spell with the club will be prolonged into the years to come." 

 

 

On his new deal, Henderson said: "I’m obviously very honoured and proud to continue the journey I’ve already been on here. 

 

"It’s amazing to finally get it done and just concentrate on looking forward and what the future may hold. 

 

"I’m in a different place of course, as a player and as a person, from when I first walked in. I’ve learned and grown a lot over my time here, and I’ve got to thank a lot of people for that. 

 

"I’ve loved every minute of it, even when I look back at the tough times, I was still enjoying being a part of this football club. The longer I can do that, the better for me really. I want to be here as long as possible, I’ve always said that. 

 

"To continue this journey is incredible for me and my family, and I hope the fans and the club feel the same way."

 

Henderson follows in the footsteps of Virgil van Dijk, Alisson, Fabinho and Andy Robertson in extending his stay at the club.
