Jordan Henderson: Liverpool captain signs new deal until 2025
Last updated on .From the section Liverpool
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson has signed a new contract keeping him at the club until 2025.
The 31-year-old England midfielder has made 394 appearances in a decade with the club and had two years remaining on his previous deal.
Henderson is the latest of Liverpool's Champions League and Premier League title winners, including Fabinho and Andy Robertson, to sign a new deal.
Defender Nat Phillips has also signed a new deal with Jurgen Klopp's side.
The extension keeps the 24-year-old centre-back, who made 17 league appearances for the Reds last season, at the club until 2025.
Henderson has won five trophies with Liverpool since arriving from Sunderland in 2011 - starting with the League Cup under Kenny Dalglish in 2012.
As captain, he has lifted the Premier League, Champions League, Uefa Super Cup and Fifa Club World Cup trophies.
"To continue this journey is incredible for me," said Henderson on signing his contract.
"It's amazing to finally get it done and just concentrate on looking forward and what the future may hold."
After signing his deal, Phillips said: "Obviously after last year, it's really nice to get that reward from the club. I'm happy to be sticking around and being available if the club need to call on me again."
Henderson's performances in leading Liverpool to their first league title in 30 years saw him named the Football Writers' Association player of the year for 2020.
"I feel as hungry as I did when I first walked in 10 years ago, to prove to people that I deserve to be at this football club and give absolutely everything every single day for the badge, for the fans and for each other in this building," Henderson said.

I'm no Liverpool fan, far from it, nor Utd, but players like Carrick, Park, Henderson, Fernadinho, Deschamps, Kante are the glue that allows the 'star' players to do their thing.
No one wins the League, Champs Lge & World Cup without one.
Putting aside his massive contribution onfield, his standing within the club, and amongst his fellow pros, ask any young/developing player at Anfield who helped the most: it's invariably Hendo. (Most recently Elliott gave him dues too.)
Not by chance Gary Mac stands alongside Gerrard pitchside for Rangers. Hendo is that wise head example to follow for current Anfield youngsters.
JH has deserved this, earned this.
If you get the time look at our record under Klopp with Henderson in the team and when he isnt in the team.
Only VVD is more influential
Henderson is a top pro but more importantly atm he is so important for the team.
Most of the core team secured, no golden gand-cuffs...
Hendo has been developed into a great leader and a decent lad, respected at the highest level...
The fans should be proud of him.
Smart marketing business. Fans will be pleased.
Still wish we’d got someone to replace wynaldum.
But good to keep squad together.
Hendo deserves his place on Liverpool's list of greats and it is OUR honour that he is staying with us!!!
