Jordan Henderson has officially parted ways with Ajax after mutually agreeing to terminate his contract early. The 35-year-old England midfielder joined Ajax in January 2024 following a brief stint in the Saudi Pro League.
During his time at Ajax, Henderson served as club captain and helped secure qualification for the UEFA Champions League.
Despite these achievements, Ajax narrowly missed out on the Dutch league title, and Henderson has chosen to leave the club before his contract was due to expire in June 2026.
Now a free agent, Henderson is reportedly considering a return to the Premier League. His boyhood club Sunderland has shown interest, especially after he attended their recent promotion play-off victory at Wembley, sparking speculation of an emotional homecoming. Other Premier League teams, including Nottingham Forest, have also been linked with a potential move. There is additional interest from clubs abroad, including Porto.
As Henderson evaluates his next career move, fans and pundits alike await to see where the experienced midfielder will land next.
