Henderson’s Premier League journey began with his hometown club Sunderland, where he debuted in 2008 and made 71 appearances, scoring 4 goals and providing 10 assists over three seasons. He earned back-to-back Young Player of the Year awards before joining Liverpool in 2011. At Anfield, he evolved from a versatile midfielder to club captain by 2015, amassing 360 appearances, 29 goals, and 42 assists over 12 seasons, and famously lifting the Premier League title in 2020.
He played for Ajax last season, following a brief stint at Saudi club Al Ettifaq. Much of Henderson’s career was spent at Liverpool, where he became one of the club’s most recognisable and decorated leaders in recent years.
