Ajax confirm Jordan Henderson signing as former Liverpool captain releases statement explaining his decision to terminate Al Ettifaq contract and thanking their fans

Ajax have confirmed the signing of former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, following the termination of his contract with Al Ettifaq.

The 33-year-old made a hasty exit from his Saudi Pro League club after failing to settle in the country since his Anfield exit last summer.

The Eredivisie giants announced the marquee capture in a video posted on social media that lauded his abilities as a leader and comfort playing in 'red and white', owing to his early days with boyhood club Sunderland.

The England international joins a side that have rallied since their dismal start to the campaign to sit fifth in the Dutch top-flight.
