From 2008 to 2010, Henry played for the St. George Illawarra Dragons' NYC team, scoring over 400 points.[2]

At the end of 2009, Henry won the 2009 NYC Player of the Year award[3] and was named at halfback in the 2009 NYC Team of the Year.[4]

In 2009, Henry almost signed with the North Queensland Cowboys but was convinced not to by Dragons first-grade coach, Wayne Bennett. He played on with the Dragons in 2010 without yet making his NRL debut.

In Round 1 of the 2011 season, Henry made his NRL debut for the Knights against the Penrith Panthers.[6][7] He scored a try on debut.

After the signing of Wayne Bennett to coach the Knights in 2012, Henry was told he was unwanted for the 2012 season. He was then released mid-season in 2011 to sign a ​2 1⁄2-year contract with the Gold Coast Titans starting effective immediately.[8]

Henry made his Titans debut in Round 20 of the 2011 NRL season against the North Queensland Cowboys.[9]

In 2014, Henry re-signed with the Titans on a 1-year contract for the rest of the season.[10]

On 29 October 2014, Henry signed a 1-year contract to return to his original club, St. George Illawarra Dragons starting in 2015.[11][12]

In March 2015, Henry was released from his Dragons contract to join the Wentworthville Magpies in the New South Wales Cup.[13]
