In 2015, he transferred to Quinnipiac University to play for the men's soccer team.[9][10] He made his debut on August 28 against the Boston College Eagles[11] and was named Quinnipiac Athlete of the Month for August 2015.[12]

Club career

In 2013 and 2014, he played with the Toronto Lynx in the Premier Development League.[13][14]

In 2015, he began playing with Sigma FC in League1 Ontario.[15] In 2017, he was named a L1O Second-Team All-Star[16] and was named to the All-Star Game roster.[17] In 2018, he was once again named a L1O Second Team All-Star,[18] and was once again selected to play in the All-Star Game against the PLSQ All-Star team.[19]

In February 2019, Henry signed his first professional contract with Canadian Premier League side Forge FC, joining his former Sigma coach Bobby Smyrniotis.[20][21] He made his debut in the league's first ever match on April 27, 2019 against York9 FC.[22] He helped Forge with the first ever CPL title in 2019.[23] In 2020, he helped Forge win their second consecutive league championship and won the Golden Glove Award as the league's top goalkeeper.[24][25] Forge then subsequently picked up his option for the 2021 season.[26][27] In his third season, he helped Forge reach the Championship final for the third straight season,[28] however they did not win the title, although he was a finalist for the Golden Glove Award.[29] In 2022, he won his third CPL title in four seasons with Forge.[30] In January 2023, Henry re-signed with Forge on a multi-year deal.[31][32] At the end of the 2023 season, once again winning the league title, he was again nominated for the Golden Glove Award,[33][34] and eventually won it for the second time in his career[35][36] and was also named to the CPL Best XI.[37] He did not join the club for the beginning of their 2024 season,[38] being excused for 'personal reasons', however, some reports indicated the absence was due to a transfer impasse between Henry and the club.[39][40] Forge had rejected a transfer offer during the offseason from Memphis 901 FC of the USL Championship and Henry did not join Forge for the 2024 season, with the club now working on securing another transfer for the player.[41]
