Early life

Henry began playing goalkeeper in youth soccer at the age of 12. [1] In 2013, he played with the Toronto Lynx U20 in the USL Super-20 League, winning the Safe Hands Award and being named to the All-Tournament team. [2]

College career

Henry began his college career at Herkimer County Community College in 2012. [3] In his two seasons, he helped the team win the NJCAA National Championship both seasons, including posting clean sheets in both championship matches. [4] [5] In 2012, he was the 2012 Regional Tournament MVP, an NSCAA Second Team All-American, NSCAA All-Region First Team, and was also named to the All-National Tournament First Team. [6] In 2013, he was an NSCAA and NJCAA All-American in 2013, and was selected to the NSCAA All-Region First Team and the All-National Tournament Team. [6]

In 2014, he transferred to the University of Connecticut to play for the men's soccer team. [7] He appeared in a pre-season game on August 17 against the Quinnipiac Bobcats, [8] but did not appear in any regular season matches. [6]

In 2015, he transferred to Quinnipiac University to play for the men's soccer team. [9] [10] He made his debut on August 28 against the Boston College Eagles [11] and was named Quinnipiac Athlete of the Month for August 2015. [12]

Club career

Early career

In 2013 and 2014, he played with the Toronto Lynx in the Premier Development League. [13] [14]

In 2015, he began playing with Sigma FC in League1 Ontario. [15] In 2017, he was named a L1O Second-Team All-Star [16] and was named to the All-Star Game roster. [17] In 2018, he was once again named a L1O Second Team All-Star, [18] and was once again selected to play in the All-Star Game against the PLSQ All-Star team. [19]

Forge FC

In February 2019, Henry signed his first professional contract with Canadian Premier League side Forge FC, joining his former Sigma coach Bobby Smyrniotis. [20] [21] He made his debut in the league's first ever match on April 27, 2019 against York9 FC. [22] He helped Forge with the first ever CPL title in 2019. [23] In 2020, he helped Forge win their second consecutive league championship and won the Golden Glove Award as the league's top goalkeeper. [24] [25] Forge then subsequently picked up his option for the 2021 season. [26] [27] In his third season, he helped Forge reach the Championship final for the third straight season, [28] however they did not win the title, although he was a finalist for the Golden Glove Award. [29] In 2022, he won his third CPL title in four seasons with Forge. [30] In January 2023, Henry re-signed with Forge on a multi-year deal. [31] [32]

At the end of the 2023 season, once again winning the league title, he was again nominated for the Golden Glove Award, [33] [34] and eventually won it for the second time in his career [35] [36] and was also named to the CPL Best XI. [37] He did not join the club for the beginning of their 2024 season, [38] being excused for 'personal reasons', however, some reports indicated the absence was due to a transfer impasse between Henry and the club. [39] [40] There were reports that Forge rejected a transfer offer during the offseason from Memphis 901 FC of the USL Championship, which Forge denied saying they never received a formal offer. [41] Henry did not join Forge for the 2024 season, sitting out the season, with the club working on securing another transfer for the player. [42] In July 2024, he officially departed the club, after making 142 appearances across all competitions, capturing four league titles and two Golden Glove awards. [43]

Memphis 901

On July 23, 2024, Henry officially departed Forge and signed a multi-year contract with Memphis 901 FC in the USL Championship. [44] [45] He made his debut on July 27, keeping a clean sheet, in a 1-0 victory over San Antonio FC. [46] At the end of the season, Memphis folded their club and sold their franchise rights, making Henry a free agent. [47]

Phoenix Rising

Henry joined Phoenix Rising FC on January 7, 2025. [48]
