Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson has launched his own Twitter account, joining several of his teammates, including Daniel Sturridge, Raheem Sterling and Mario Balotelli on the social network.

A number of footballers connect with their fans online, and now Henderson has decided to get involved by creating his own page under the handle @JHenderson.

An hour after posting his first tweet, which read "finally on twitter.... better late than never", the England international had attracted 32,400 followers.

The decision for Henderson to join Twitter comes a month after he launched his own Instagram page.
