I will always be a Red. Until the day I die. Thank you for everything. You'll never walk alone," he wrote on his Instagram account.Henderson will be reunited at Al-Ettifaq with former Liverpool team mate Steven Gerrard, who was appointed coach on a three-year contract at the beginning of July.Henderson arrived at Liverpool in 2011 from Sunderland and was made captain following Gerrard's move to Los Angeles Galaxy in 2015.Henderson played nearly 500 games for Liverpool in all competitions and won the Premier League and Champions League as well as the FA Cup, two League Cups, the Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup.Al-Ettifaq finished seventh in the top-tier Saudi Pro League last season.($1 = 0.7716 pounds)
