Jordan Henderson reacts to Hinds message after Liverpool exit news
Taylor Hinds has made a decision on her future at Liverpool.
The former Arsenal and Everton star joined the Reds in 2020 and has made over 100 appearances under the likes of Matt Beard and Amber Whiteley.
The vice-captain made 28 appearances last season, notching two goals from the left side of defence as the Totally Wicked Stadium outfit finished seventh in the Women’s Super League and reached the semi-final of the FA Cup.
She is out of contract on 30 June and has informed the Merseysiders of whether she will be sticking around or not.
Henderson reacts as Hinds exit announced at Liverpool
It had seemed that Hinds was going to leave Liverpool and join Arsenal when her contract expired and that has now been confirmed.
The Jamaican international took to Instagram (30 June) to announce her departure, saying: “Thank you for everything.”
Sofie Lundgaard reacted to the post by liking it and commenting: “Will miss you, all the best.”
Marie Hobinger and former Reds ace Missy Bo-Kearns also liked the post.
Ex-Men’s captain Jordan Henderson also liked it.
Liverpool have huge summer ahead after Hinds exit news
Losing one of your best players is a major blow, but it probably is not a surprise, given that the Champions League winners were interested.
The L4 outfit must act quickly to secure Fuka Nagano to a new deal, otherwise she could also exit, which would be another critical blow for Whiteley or whoever succeeds her.
Given the question marks over Whiteley’s future in the dugout and the uncertainty over the direction that the Reds are heading in, it may be a struggle to convince the Japanese star that Merseyside is the place to be.
However, they must try as she has emerged as a star since moving from North Carolina Courage in 2023, and has 52 appearances for the Reds so far.
If the Reds are to push on and qualify for Europe again and win WSL titles, as they did in 2013 and 2014, they need Fenway Sports Group to take the Women’s team seriously.
Having a player of Lundgaard’s quality back in contention should help, as she missed the majority of the last campaign with an ACL injury, but more needs to be done.
