Club career
A product of the Arsenal Academy, Henderson came to prominence during the Gunners' 2008–09 FA Youth Cup, 2008–09 Premier Academy League and 2009–10 Premier Academy League wins.[3][4][5]
Henderson was named on the bench for the away trips to Wigan and Blackburn near the end of the 2009–10 season but did not make an appearance.[6][7] On 2 March 2011, it was announced that he would make his debut against Leyton Orient in an FA Cup replay.[8] He played the full 90 minutes as Arsenal won 5–0.[9] Arsène Wenger later stated after the match that he expects Henderson to be a future player for the first team.
International career
Henderson elected to play for Ireland as he was eligible. He qualifies to play for Ireland through all of his grandparents being Irish. He represented England at youth level but then switched to Ireland and has represented them at U-19 level.[10] In March 2011 made his debut appearance for the Irish national Under-21 team.[11]
