He came on as a stoppage-time substitute for Brian Iloski as Orange County won 2–1.[2] Henry won the 2021 USL Championship Playoffs with Orange County, although he was an unused sub in the game against the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

Reims

Ahead of the 2023–24 season, Henry joined Villefranche on a season-long loan.[5]
