In December 2020, Henry joined A-League Women club Western Sydney Wanderers ahead of the 2020–21 W-League season. [3] A couple of weeks later, she made her debut for the club in a 3–0 loss to Sydney FC, starting the match and playing 76 minutes before being subbed off. [4] [5] In August 2021, the club re-signed Henry for the 2021–22 A-League Women season. [6]

In September 2022, Henry joined fellow A-League Women club Melbourne City on a two-year contract. [7]

International career

Henry was a part of the Junior Matildas team during the 2019 AFC U-16 Women's Championship. She featured during one match of the tournament, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–0 draw with Japan. [8] On 21 November 2020, Henry was called up for the first ever Women's Talent Identification Camp which was held in Canberra from 22 – 26 of November 2020. [9] [10]

Henry was part of the Australia U20 (Young Matildas) at the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup playing in all three games against Costa Rica U20, Brazil U20 and Spain U20. Henry scored a goal against home side Costa Rica.

On 23 October 2021, 18-year-old Henry made her senior Australian national team (Matildas) debut, coming on as a substitute in the 90th minute. Henry scored her first international goal on 4 December 2024, in the Matildas 3-1 win over Chinese Taipei at AAMI Park. [11]

The forward was named in the Australia U23 squad by coach Joe Palatsides for the 2025 ASEAN Women's Championship on 30 July 2025. [12] However, due to illness Henry was ruled out before the tournament started and was replaced by Abbey Lemon (from Sydney FC). [13]
