Henderson, who lifted seven major trophies, all but one of which as club captain, across a 12-year Liverpool career, praised the influence of Brentford head coach Keith Andrews, saying the former Republic of Ireland international was a big reason behind him coming to west London.

Jordan Henderson says it was an "easy decision" to join Brentford after leaving Ajax this summer. The 35 year-old has been officially revealed as a Bees player, signing a two-year deal in west London. "I'm delighted that I'm here; I'm very excited to get started and get going," the midfielder said in his first club interview.
