Some of your have used our Ask Me Anything about Brentford form to raise what’s happening with Rico Henry’s contract – which expires in the summer.
It was a real blow to see Henry suffer another injury the other night which will seriously curtail his 10th season at the club.
Head Coach Keith Andrews has confirmed that the left back will have a significant spell on the sidelines with the hamstring issue.
Since joining back in 2016 the former Walsall defender has been both a hugely important part of the club's rise into and sustained presence in the Premier League as well as being a popular player with the fans.
He has of course been beset with injuries including two ACL issues.
The most recent knee problem sustained in autumn 2023, and some setbacks in recovery, saw him miss a lot of football. During the current campaign though, we have observed the Jamaican International get back to his best.
Andrews certainly values what the 28-year-old offers, saying this week: "He epitomises the way I like the game to be played: aggressive and front-footed. And he's been a big, big part of what has been the best chapter in this club's history; he's been on the journey."
My understanding is that there is no reason why the club will not exercise a contract extension clause for Henry as he is seen as an important player in the squad and certainly suits the way the current coaching staff want to approach playing.
At the very least Henry is not a player that the Bees would want to make available on a free and there's no suggestion that he has any intention of going anywhere else.
His most recent injury blow might be a set back for Rico, but next season would be his 11th in West London, which is an incredible achievement, plus if he makes a good recovery and his International team mates do the business in the play-offs, he could enter it off the back of playing at a World Cup.
How good would that be.
