Henderson Bids Farewell To Liverpool Upon Departure

Following his transfer to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq, Jordan Henderson has paid an emotional farewell to Liverpool.

The 33-year-old signed a three-year deal with the Saudi club ( although the third year may be an option) having accepted an offer of £700,000 a week.

Henderson posted a video on his official Instagram account a few minutes ago, saying: “I can’t lie, there have been hard times. Really hard times. But when I look back on my career with Liverpool it will always be the good times that I remember.

“And those good times, where do I start? Being made the captain of Liverpool Football Club was one of the greatest honours of my life.

“From the day that armband was passed to me, I did everything I could to behave like a Liverpool captain should.

“But the biggest honours at Liverpool weren’t individual, they were collective, all of us, all of you, together.”

It’s an end for Henderson who joined the Reds back in 2011, where he made 492 appearances, scoring 39 goals, registering 74 assists and 8 trophies.

Liverpool will receive £12m plus add-ons for Henderson, who still had two years remaining on his contract with the club.
