Club career
Early career
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]
Reims
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]
Loan to Villafranche
Ahead of the 2023–24 season, Henry joined Villefranche on a season-long loan.[6]
International career
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] On October 10, 2025, Henry scored his first goal for Trinidad and Tobago in a 3-0 win over Bermuda.
Henry made his debut for Trinidad and Tobago national football team on September 5, 2025 in a World Cup qualifier versus Curacao[9]
