Kobi Joseph Henry (born April 26, 2004) is a professional soccer player who plays as a center-back for Major League Soccer club Real Salt Lake, on loan from Reims B. Born in the United States, he represents the Trinidad and Tobago national team.
Henry was born in Lakeland, Florida, to athletic parents; his father was a semi-professional soccer player, and his mother did track and field. His grandfather Ken Henry was a strength and conditioning coach for the Trinidad and Tobago national team. His parents both went into teaching, and as a result lived in 10 different places growing up including New York, New Jersey, and even Bermuda. [1] He was part of the Florida Rush soccer academy before joining Orlando City's youth side in 2018. He then joined the Inter Miami academy a year later, before signing a professional contract with the USL Championship side Orange County SC on June 18, 2020. [2] He made his competitive debut for the club on August 22, 2020, against LA Galaxy II. He came on as a stoppage-time substitute for Brian Iloski as Orange County won 2–1. [3] Henry won the 2021 USL Championship Playoffs with Orange County, although he was an unused sub in the game against the Tampa Bay Rowdies.[ citation needed ]
On June 14, 2022, Henry signed for the French club Stade de Reims on a five-year contract. The transfer fee paid to Orange County was $700,000, a record in the USL Championship. [4] He was initially assigned to Reims's reserve side in the Championnat National 2. [5]
Ahead of the 2023–24 season, Henry joined Villefranche on a season-long loan. [6]
Born in the United States, Henry is of Trinidadian descent. [7] He has represented the Under States national under-17 team. [2] He was called up to the United States senior camp in December 2021 but did not appear in the game against Bosnia and Herzegovina. [8]
Henry made his debut for Trinidad and Tobago national football team on September 5, 2025 in a World Cup qualifier versus Curacao [9]
