Early life

Henderson grew up in Perth and represented Australia in futsal at under-13 level.[3] In July 2011, her performance at the national under-14 girls’ soccer championship, helped secure a position on Western Australia's under-15 national training center team.[4] In July 2012 she captained a Western Australia (WA) under-15 team to the national championships. Her performance on the left wing was praised as "mature and influential" by the team's technical director and she was the only WA player to be selected for the tournament all-star game.[5]

Club career

At the age of 16, Henderson signed for Perth Glory, originally as an injury replacement in late 2013.[6] Henderson made three appearances for the club during the 2013–14 W-League season.[7] in which the Glory finished in fifth place during the regular season with a 5–7–0 record.[8]

Henderson returned to the Glory for the 2015–16 season and made nine appearances for the club.[7] The club finished in eighth place with a 3–7–2 record.[9]

In October 2017, it was confirmed that Henderson didn't re-sign with Perth Glory for the 2017–18 W-League season.[10]

Henderson has represented Australia on the women's national under-17 soccer team.[11][12]
