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.

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.

Brentford signed England international Jordan Henderson on a two-year deal and described the midfielder as “one of the most influential leaders” in the Premier League.
