Jordan Henderson Named Ajax Captain for Heerenveen Clash

Jordan Henderson, the former Liverpool captain, is set to take on the role of captain for Ajax in their upcoming match against Heerenveen.

Henderson recently made a move to Ajax from Saudi Arabian club Al-Ettifaq, following a brief stint that did not work out as expected.

In his debut appearance for Ajax against PSV Eindhoven, Henderson showcased his leadership qualities and on-field presence.

With regular captain Steven Berghuis sidelined due to injury, Henderson is now expected to lead Ajax onto the field in their clash with Heerenveen.

Manager John van 't Schip is reportedly impressed by Henderson’s impact within the team and is considering making him the permanent captain.

Ajax’s midfielder Kenneth Taylor praised Henderson’s influence on and off the pitch, highlighting his leadership and coaching abilities.

Henderson, now the highest earner at Ajax, has quickly integrated into the team and is seen as a valuable asset by his teammates.

Despite the disappointment of his previous move to Saudi Arabia, Henderson’s experience and skills are proving beneficial for Ajax as they aim for success in the league.

Having succeeded iconic captain Steven Gerrard at Liverpool, Henderson is no stranger to leading from the front and inspiring his teammates, qualities that are evident in his new role at Ajax.
