Profile

 

Jordan Henderson is a midfielder who captains England U21s.

He was brought to Anfield in June 2011 having risen through the youth ranks at Sunderland, a club he joined aged seven.

The youngster made his first-team debut for the Black Cats against Chelsea in November 2008 after helping the club to successive U18s league titles.

The second half of his breakthrough season was spent on loan at Championship side Coventry and it wasn't until 2009-10 that fans at the Stadium of Light really saw what he was capable of. Henderson totalled 38 appearances during the campaign and was crowned Sunderland's Young Player of the Year.

He would retain the title in 2010-11, a season which brought full England recognition. Fabio Capello handed him a Three Lions debut at the age of 20 in a friendly with France in November 2010. This came after impressive performances for England U19s and U21s.

Henderson left Sunderland with a tally of five goals from 79 appearances.

While operating in the centre for England U21s, his first season at Anfield saw our new No.14 play most often on the right of midfield. Still, he managed to display his undoubted technical abilities with a sublime assist for Luis Suarez in a League Cup win at Stoke and with goals against Bolton and Chelsea.
