At the end of 2009, Henry won the 2009 NYC Player of the Year award[4] and was named at halfback in the 2009 NYC Team of the Year.[5]

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.

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.[9]

Henry made his Titans debut in Round 20 of the 2011 NRL season against the North Queensland Cowboys.[10]

In 2014, Henry re-signed with the Titans on a 1-year contract for the rest of the season.[11]

On 29 October 2014, Henry signed a 1-year contract to return to his original club, St. George Illawarra Dragons starting in 2015.[4][12]

Henry was selected for the Dragons in the 2015 NRL Auckland Nines.[13]

In March 2015, Henry was released from his Dragons contract to join the Wentworthville Magpies in the New South Wales Cup.[14]

On 10 September 2018, Henry was voted Ron Massey Cup Player of the Season.[15] On 22 September 2018, he was part of the Wentworthville side which won the Ron Massey Cup premiership, defeating St Marys 38–4.[16]
