[edit] Club career

Having grown up in Woodley attending Waingels College,^[1] Henry, a right winger who has also played centre midfield, has risen through Reading's youth academy and signed a one-year professional contract with Reading in June 2006. He missed most of the 2005–06 season with a cruciate knee injury. Following limited first team opportunities during Reading's first season in the Premier League, on 22 March 2007 he joined Nottingham Forest on loan until the end of the 2006–07 season,^[2] yet returned to Reading after just three weeks after failing to make an impact.^{[citation needed]} Henry played in just one match, coming on as a late substitute.

Henry finally made his debut for Reading on 24 September 2007, coming on in the 80th minute of a 4-2 home defeat to Liverpool in the third round of the League Cup.^[3]

On 2 November 2007 Henry joined Bournemouth on loan until 8 December^[4] (later extended to 3 January 2008^[5]), and scored two goals on his debut for the club a day later, in a 2-0 victory at Bristol Rovers. He also scored in a 1-1 draw between Bournemouth and Hartlepool. He made another loan move on 31 January 2008, this time joining Championship side Norwich City for three months,^[6] but the loan was cut short on 17 March 2008 due to Reading's concern at Henry's lack of first team action with Norwich.^[7]

On 5 March 2008, Henry signed a contract extension with Reading to July 2010.^[8]

[edit] International career

Henry has played for Scotland U19s (for whom he qualifies through his parents) and England U18s, and was called up to the England U19 squad on 11 September 2007.^[9]
