Henry began his career as a youth team goalkeeper with Bristol City[2] before moving to the youth set-up at Swindon Town.

In October 2015, Henry joined Shrivenham on loan and made his debut in the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup win against East Hendred.[3] On 30 April 2016, Henry made his professional debut for Swindon Town in the 2–2 draw at Rochdale and saved a first half Ian Henderson penalty.[4][5] On 8 September 2017, Henry joined Southern League Premier Division side Dunstable Town on a one-month loan deal.[6] A day later, Henry made his debut in their 8–1 away defeat against Slough Town.[7]

On 5 February 2018, Henry joined National League South side Hampton & Richmond Borough on loan for the remainder of the campaign.[8] After appearing four times, Swindon recalled Henry, following the arrival of new manager, Phil Brown.[9]

On 9 August 2018, Henry returned to the National League South to join Chippenham Town on a short-term loan.[10] Henry went onto feature six times for Chippenham before being recalled by Swindon in early September following Lawrence Vigouroux's call-up to the Chile national team.[11]

International career

On 28 September 2017, Henry received his first international call-up for the England U20 squad by manager Keith Downing for their fixtures against Italy U20 and Czech Republic U20.[12]
