Jordan Henderson Net Worth - How Much Is Liverpool Captain Worth?

• Jordan Henderson has enjoyed a long and successful career as a Premier League midfielder.

• As captain of Liverpool for many years, he can command high wages and sponsorship deals.

• With a new contract until 2025, Henderson is well-set to consolidate his net worth.

Born in Sunderland, England in June 1990, Jordan Henderson has developed into one of his country’s most versatile and consistent midfielders.

Having spent his youth career at his hometown club Sunderland, his career hit the big time when signing for Liverpool in 2011.

Initially seen as a box-to-box midfielder, he has evolved into a defensive midfielder with a superb work rate and physicality which allows others to prosper.

Across a decade and more at the club, he has established himself as a key part of a team that under the tutelage of Jurgen Klopp has won the biggest trophies available.

Away from the pitch Henderson has been a force for good, receiving an MBE in 2021 for his charity work during the pandemic.

Net Worth

Jordan Henderson is thought to have a net worth of £23 million, a fair amount for a seasoned England international whose career has hit the heights in the modern era.

While players do not earn money for representing their country, his appearances for the Three Lions will have raised his profile further.

With a new contract secured, his worth is surely set to increase even more as he enters the twilight years of his career.

Sensible Premier League predictions suggest silverware for Liverpool, which will help him consolidate his wealth, with his contract containing success-based bonuses.

On top of his basic wage, Henderson has amassed his wealth from numerous sponsorship deals during his playing career.

He profited from a lucrative contract with sports nutrition brand MaxiNutrition and has appeared in a range of videos for the likes of Nivea and Nike. It is estimated he earns an extra £1 million per year for his off the pitch activities.

Salary

As expected from a player whose career has been on an upward trajectory over the past decade, Henderson has been able to demand a high wage during his time at Liverpool.

However, reports on his salary intimate that his wage has been at a consistent level for a number of years now.

This was confirmed with the new contract he signed in 2018, that earned him £7.3 million per year, the same figure as the deal he signed in April 2015, which equates to £140,000 per week.

Prior to 2015, Henderson earned £65,000 per week, but once named as captain he was able to demand more, especially as a player who consistently topped Liverpool player ratings after matches.

After a period of negotiation, Henderson signed another new four-year deal in August 2021.

The details of the new contract have not been released, but it is likely that he will have maintained his previous earnings once more, the delay in signing due to the player wishing to secure his future financially as he enters the final years of his playing career.

The contract was just reward for someone many football fans consider to be one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.

Liverpool

With his new contract secured, it is possible that Jordan Henderson will end up spending 15 years at Liverpool, a clear sign of his value as a player and as a key part of their most successful side in a generation.

Jordan signed for the Merseyside club in 2010, for an undisclosed fee thought to be around the £18 million mark.

He was soon an integral part of the team, making 48 appearances in the 2011/12 season and he tasted his first success when Liverpool won the League Cup on penalties soon after.

Yet he had to wait quite a while for further glory. Under manager Brendan Rodger, his exciting team just missed out on winning the Premier League in 2014.

With the arrival of Jurgen Klopp, a new force in English football emerged with Henderson as its captain after the departure of Steven Gerrard in 2015.

The team reached its peak between 2018 and 2020, winning their first Premier League in 30 years, the year after capturing their sixth European Cup. On top of that, they also won the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.

Henderson’s performances saw him crowned as FWA Footballer of the Year in 2019, and it was no surprise that Liverpool wished to retain his services for many years to come.

Those into Premier League betting may wish to back Henderson and his club for further glory in the coming seasons.

England

Jordan has a proud history anchoring the England midfield. Having represented his country at various youth levels, he made his senior debut in 2010 in a friendly against France, lining up in midfield alongside Steven Gerrard.

Henderson was not initially a regular in England squads and was a standby player for the Euro 2012 squad, until replacing the injured Frank Lampard, making two substitute appearances in the tournament.

He became more of a regular in the coming years, playing in the two opening games of the 2014 World Cup finals.

While Henderson has not always been a first pick for England managers, by the end of 2021 he had received 68 caps, showing his worth as a key squad member.

This was demonstrated by him being named England Player of The Year in 2019, though it was not until July 2021 that he scored his first international goal, a great header against Ukraine.

Those with an interest in UK football betting should back him to add to his tally of caps, as he shows few signs of slowing down.

Family

Jordan Henderson has a happy family life, with a loving wife and three beautiful children. As a deeply private couple little is known about Jordan’s wife Rebecca Burnett, who has no social media presence.

It is thought the couple were childhood sweethearts, who got together when Jordan was at Sunderland. They married in 2014 in a low-key ceremony, and Rebecca can often be seen at matches supporting her husband, both in England and abroad.

Jordan and Rebecca have three children. Their two daughters Elexa and Alba were born in 2014 and 2015, and in 2020, the couple welcomed their first boy.

For the birth of Alba, Jordan rushed to his wife’s side before heading back to Wembley to play in an FA Cup semi-final.
