England star Henderson leaves Dutch giants Ajax

The 35-year-old joined Amsterdam-based Ajax in a blaze of glory in January 2024, only six months after his move from Liverpool to Saudi Arabia sparked controversy over gay rights. An outspoken advocate for the gay community, his transfer to Saudi club Al-Ettifaq had prompted accusations he was putting money above principles. But he quickly put that controversy behind him, as Ajax appointed him club captain and he made 57 appearances in the shirt made famous by the likes of Johan Cruyff and Dennis Bergkamp.
