The English midfield player made the move to the Netherlands during the winter transfer window after mutually terminating his contract with Saudi Pro League team Al-Ettifaq, seeking to rejuvenate his career back in Europe.

Since arriving in Amsterdam, Henderson has participated in two draws and suffered a loss, notably a 3-2 defeat in the Europa Conference League against Bodo/Glimt in his most recent match. Reflecting on the game, Henderson commented to TNT Sports, acknowledging the strength of their opponents and emphasizing the need for his team to start matches stronger and maintain consistency throughout.

He praised the resilience of the young team, recognizing that mistakes are inevitable but stressing the importance of learning from them collectively. Henderson highlighted the team’s determination, especially in the final moments of matches, while acknowledging the need for sustained effort throughout the game.

Despite awaiting his first victory with Ajax, Henderson expressed satisfaction with how quickly he has settled into the team and the support he has received from both players and staff. He emphasized the gradual progress the team aims to make and reiterated his commitment to contributing to their success.

Ajax, who faced a difficult start to the 2023-24 season, will return to Eredivisie action against NEC on Sunday, where positive results will be crucial for securing European qualification for the 2024-25 season.
