He plays as a forward.[1]

Henderson made his debut for Donegal at the age of 17.[1][2]

He came on as a late substitute in the final of the 2011 Lory Meagher Cup as Donegal claimed a first All-Ireland hurling title with victory over Tyrone.[3]

He won the 2013 Nicky Rackard Cup with Donegal, playing in the final against Roscommon and scoring ten points (seven of which were frees).[4]

Henderson played for Donegal during the 2018 National Hurling League, when the county recorded their first competitive victories over Derry and Down.[5][6] Donegal also defeated Armagh in the closing game of that league campaign.[7] Donegal went on to win the 2018 Nicky Rackard Cup, though Henderson's role in the final was limited to a late substitute appearance due to an ankle injury.[8][9]

The Donegal News described Henderson in 2020 as "one of Donegal's most consistent performers for the last decade".[1]
