Brentford have signed Jordan Henderson on a free transfer.
The former Liverpool midfielder, who was a free agent after leaving Ajax, has signed a two-year deal.
Brentford recently lost their captain and first-choice defensive midfielder Christian Norgaard to Arsenal, having already seen head coach Thomas Frank depart for Tottenham, with Keith Andrews appointed as the new Bees boss.
Although he has just turned 35, Brentford believe Henderson, who has 84 England caps, will bring vital experience and quality to their squad and dressing room.
“I try my best to pass on my experiences, especially to the younger players. But, at the same time, I still need to perform and do my job on the pitch,” Henderson told the club’s website.
“It’s a given that I’ll help everybody around me but, even at my age, you can still learn a lot, you can still improve, and you can still get better, which is what I want to do at this club.”
Henderson was handed an England recall in March by new manager Thomas Tuchel, having not played for the Three Lions since November 2023. He has 84 England caps.
