Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson signs new contract

The
England
midfielder,
who
had
two
years
left
on
his
previous
deal,
has
agreed
to
an
extension
that
will
reportedly
run
until
the
end
of
the
2024-25
season.

Henderson
has
spent
10
years
at
Liverpool
since
joining
from
Sunderland
and
captained
Jurgen
Klopp’s
side
to
Champions
League
glory
in
2019
before
leading
them
to
a
first
top-flight
title
in
30
years
in
2019-20.

“I’m
obviously
very
honoured
and
proud
to
continue
the
journey
I’ve
already
been
on
here,”
Henderson
told
Liverpool’s
website.

“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,
31,
has
made
394
appearances
in
all
competitions
for
the
Reds,
winning
five
trophies
in
total
in
his
decade
at
Anfield.

He
was
named
the
Football
Writers’ Association
Footballer
of
the
Year
after
guiding
Liverpool
to
Premier
League
glory
in
2019-20.

“Every
year
is
the
same,
every
year
is
the
biggest
challenge,
the
biggest
season
ahead.
I
feel
as
hungry
as
ever,”
he
said.

“I
feel
as
hungry
as
I
did
when
I
first
walked
in
10
years
ago,
to
prove
to
people
that
I
deserve
to
be
at
this
football
club
and
give
absolutely
everything
every
single
day
for
the
badge,
for
the
fans
and
for
each
other
in
this
building.

“If
we
do
that,
I
feel
as
though
we’ve
got
a
good
chance
of
being
successful.”
