Jordan Henderson Bio

The native of Sunderland, England was born on June 17, 1990 as Jordan Brian Henderson. His parents are Brian and Liz Henderson. Before enrolling at Sunderland, he attended Farringdon Community Sports College.

He signed his first professional contract in June 1, 2008, and made his debut in November of the same year. Jordan joined the Sunderland first team but didn’t make many appearances in the first season. Therefore, he was loaned out.

Coventry City became his temporary home, originally on a month-long loan in January 2009, but was later extended until the end of the season. During his time with City, he made 10 appearances and scored 4 goals. He returned to his parent club after a metatarsal fracture in his foot. Upon his return, he broke through and made starts more often. In 2011, he had played 71 matches and scored four goals. He scored his first Premier League goal against Manchester City on December 19. Eventually, Jordan Henderson was listed on the official FIFA website as one of 13 young players to watch in 2011 and was named Sunderland’s Young Player of the Year.

Jordan made a progress in his career by the middle of 2011. Having proven that he is the next thing to happen to the world of football, he moved to Liverpool for a sum of around $20 million. His first appearance was against his parent club which drew a mixed reaction among Sunderland fans. Nevertheless, he continued to make great strides towards a successful career. The contract which was initially short-term and would have ended with the arrival of new club manager Brendan Rodgers, however, turned into a long-term contract. His contract was extended for five years on April 23, 2015.

With more frequent appearances and greater goalscoring potential, he has established himself as a regular member of the Liverpool squad. On 29 September 2014, he made his 100th appearance for the club in a 3–1 win over Sunderland.

His career took another turn when he was appointed vice-captain of the team after the departure of Danish player Daniel Agger. In November 2014, Jordan started as captain for the first time and has remained since the departure of Steven Gerrard in June 2015.

On the same day he was named captain of the team, it was announced that he would also feature alongside Lionel Messi on the cover of the UK edition of FIFA 16. He also won the Premier League Goal of the Month Award in September 2015 after scoring a spectacular 25-yard strike in a 2-1 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

In his national team, he made his international debut in 2009 and represented England at four different levels. From 2009 to 2010 he was capped 18 times for the England U-19, U-20 and U-21 national team and scored four goals. He was invited to the three main Lions in 2010 and has already made five appearances for this one. He also represented his country at UEFA Euro 2012 and 2016, as well as the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Additionally, for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Jordan was named in the 23-man England national team.

Is Jordan Henderson gay or does he have a wife?

Many fans think short players are too “short” and thus had commented on their views on the inappropriateness of the length. However, shorts are shorts because they are short. This in turn would have sparked gay rumors. The truth remains that Jordan Henderson is straight and has a wife he loves so much.

The Liverpool midfielder and captain has been married to Rebecca Burnett since 2014. The duo have one daughter, Alexa Henderson.
