Paul Henderson (footballer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul John Henderson (born April 22, 1976 in Sydney, Australia) is a professional football (soccer) goalkeeper who currently plays for Leicester City.

Henderson became the latest Australian to join Leicester City when he signed on a free transfer from Bradford City, where he had been a regular member of the first team, in the summer of 2005. He joins fellow Aussies Danny Tiatto, Patrick Kisnorbo and James Wesolowski in the City squad.

Henderson was bought as an understudy to Rab Douglas. He signed a 2 year deal stating he was "willing to fight for his place" and the he felt Leicester was a club "moving in the right direction". After Douglas came under criticism for inconsistent performances, Henderson has had a run of matches in the first team under new boss Rob Kelly, making 15 appearances during the 05/06 season. At the start of the 2006/07 season Henderson had played himself into the first choice position, and despite losing his place for a short term to Conrad Logan he soon regained his spot in the team.
