Brentford Officially Announces Mutual Termination of Jordan Henderson's Contract; Reportedly Joins Chelsea on Free Transfer
Brentford FC has officially announced the mutual termination of Jordan Henderson's contract. The 36-year-old midfielder joined the Bees on a free transfer from Ajax in July 2025 and made 34 appearances in all competitions during the 2025/26 season. Henderson expressed gratitude to the club, staff, teammates, and fans in a farewell statement. He made his Brentford debut against Nottingham Forest, scored his only goal for the club in a 1-1 draw with Leeds United in December, and helped the team secure a ninth-place Premier League finish. Henderson was also selected for England's 2026 World Cup squad under Thomas Tuchel, becoming the first English male player to participate in seven major tournaments and helping the Three Lions achieve a third-place finish. Reports indicate Henderson will join Chelsea on a free transfer following the contract termination.
