Career

Henry has played in Saint Lucia as well as non-league football in England. His first goal for St Lucia came against Antigua and Barbuda during Saint Lucia's opening leg 3-1 victory in their 2018 World Cup qualification.[2]

With FC Pioneers in the central Castries league, he scored 23 goals in 12 games during the 2015 Gold Division season. In August 2015, it was reported that Henry was undergoing a medical with Lynx F.C. of the Gibraltar Premier Division. It was believed that if he were signed, he would be the first Saint Lucian signed to a European club directly from Saint Lucia.[3] Henry did not sign a contract with the Gibraltarian club but still became the first Saint Lucian signed to a contract in Europe directly from Saint Lucia when he signed for San Ġwann F.C. of the Maltese First Division in January 2016.[4]
