‘It’s been a difficult six months for me’: Jordan Henderson says after completing his move to Ajax from Al-Ettifaq
Six months after joining Saudi Pro League club Al-Ettifaq, Jordan Henderson has terminated his contract and has joined Ajax on a two-and-a-half-year deal.
The 33-year-old had joined Al-Ettifaq from Liverpool last summer on a three-year contract worth a reported £350,000 a week.
“I’m sad to say that I will be leaving Al-Ettifaq with immediate effect. It wasn’t an easy decision but one that I feel is best for me and my family,” Henderson wrote on social media.
“I want to take this opportunity to thank the club and the fans for all the support during my time. I really felt the love from day one. I’ll keep watching and hoping for your success. Good luck for the future.”

Talking to the Ajax website, the mid-fielder said: It’s been a difficult year or so for the club, both on and off the field, but that’s the same for me in the past six months. So hopefully we can help each other come together and help each other go forward and try and be as successful as possible in the near future.
“It’s been a bit of a whirlwind, crazy few days, but I’m just so excited now to be here, to start a new chapter, a new journey in my life and my career and I’m just so excited to be here and part of this club.
