Defender Jordan Henderson has joined Ajax Amsterdam in the Dutch Eredivisie.
Henderson was with Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League prior to joining Ajax.
He had played for Liverpool in the English Premier League for 12 years before moving to Al-Ettifaq.
“It has been a tough year for Ajax, both on and off the pitch,” said Henderson.
“That’s the same for me in the past six months. So, hopefully, we can help each other to move forward and be successful in the near future.”
Ajax currently occupy fifth position in this season’s Eredivisie. They have won eight, drawn four and lost five matches.
“We wanted an experienced midfielder with leadership qualities. Partially due to injuries in the team, we were looking for someone who could step in immediately. Jordan is that type of player,” read a statement from the club.
“His arrival means a huge enhancement for our squad. Both on and off the pitch, a football player of this calibre is important for our many young players. He’s an English international player and has won the Champions League and many other prizes with Liverpool.”
