'I am not going anywhere,' says Henderson after penning new deal
Crystal Palace captain Dean Henderson maintains there is nowhere he would rather be after the England goalkeeper committed his long-term future to the club ahead of their Europa League debut on Thursday night.
Henderson, who was part of Thomas Tuchels World Cup squad this summer, playing in the third-place play-off victory over France, has signed a contract extension to 2030.
After joining from Manchester United in 2023, Henderson has gone on to make more than 100 appearances for the Eagles and helped them win the Conference League under Oliver Glasner last season.
We have shared some incredible moments, unforgettable nights, glorious days, memories I will never forget, said Henderson, who took on the captaincy following the sale of Marc Guehi to Manchester City in January.
I have learnt what it means to wear this shirt, to be trusted with the armband is something I will never take for granted.
Henderson added in a video on the Palace website: You are not just leading the team, you are carrying everyone who stands behind it.
I know what the badge means to the fans. The highs, the lows, the seasons where nobody believed and the moments we proved them wrong that is what it means to be Palace.
There was nowhere else. I am proud to be one of you. I am not going anywhere.
My best years are in front of me and Im happy to be giving that to Crystal Palace.
Henderson will miss Thursday nights Europa League opener against Lech Poznan at Selhurst Park as he continues to recover from an ankle injury, which is expected to see him sit out Englands upcoming Nations League games over the international break.
As a player he is a really good goalkeeper, and as a man he has good leadership, Palace boss Pierre Sage said at a press conference ahead of the European tie.
He is positive and is always with his teammates; that is why it is really important to have him.
Sage confirmed Ismaila Sarr could be involved for the first time since the collapse of his proposed move to Liverpool.
Forward Eddie Nketiah should also be in the squad, but Jean-Philippe Mateta remains out with a thigh problem.
