A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (61.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.38 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Henderson.
Judged on this season alone, Henderson graded 31 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the England tier 1, on 1 goal, 3 assists and 2.379 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 33 → 31). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 53rd of 55 of the 55 defensive midfielders in the England tier 1. At 36 Henderson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 16.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Henderson missed 3 games through injury (knock) out of roughly 38 this season. The 32 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 26.9, Henderson carries the 53rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the England tier 1 of 55. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.38 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~54), then tapers with age. At 36, Henderson sits on 16.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Henderson's projected Rating — 26.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
