Jordan Henderson will be a great captain says Jason McAteer
With Steven Gerrard leaving Anfield for LA Galaxy this summer it looks almost certain that Henderson will be named the 34-year-old’s successor as captain.
The England international has become an integral part of Rodgers’ side since the Northern Irishman took charge in 2012 and former Red McAteer thinks the 24-year-old will make a fine skipper.
“He was really an unsung hero last year and the [captain’s] armband has done him the world of good because he’s grown in confidence and he looks like he’s going to go on and become a fantastic player for Liverpool for years to come,” the Irishman told talkSPORT.
