Overview
- Henderson agreed the new contract on Wednesday, extending a deal that was due to end in June 2028 so he now remains at Selhurst Park until the summer of 2030.
- The club announced the extension alongside a short-term ankle injury that will rule Henderson out of Palace’s Europa League opener and is expected to keep him out of England’s next Nations League matches.
- Henderson has been club captain since January and teammates and executives praised his leadership as central to team cohesion and morale.
- Since joining from Manchester United in August 2023 he has made 119 appearances for Palace, kept 38 clean sheets, and ranks among the Premier League leaders for clean sheets and saves over that period.
- Reported summer interest from other clubs did not produce a transfer and Palace say the new deal closes speculation while securing an experienced captain during a period of recent trophy success and European competition.
