Beau Henry (born 17 January 1990) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer for the Gold Coast Titans of the National Rugby League. He primarily plays five eighth and halfback.

Playing career

Born in Shellharbour, New South Wales, Henry played his junior football for the Warilla Gorillas before being signed by the St. George Illawarra Dragons. He played for the Dragons' Toyota Cup from 2008 to 2010, scoring over 400 points.[1]

At the end of 2009, Henry won the 2009 Toyota Cup Player of the Year award. He was also named at halfback in the 2009 Toyota Cup Team of the Year.

In 2009, Henry almost signed with the North Queensland Cowboys but was convinced not to by first-grade coach, Wayne Bennett. He played on with the Dragons in 2010 without yet making his NRL debut. In June 2010, Henry signed a 3-year contract with the Newcastle Knights starting in 2011.[2]

In Round 1 of the 2011 season, Henry made his NRL debut for the Knights against the Penrith Panthers. He scored a try on debut.

After the signing of supercoach 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 3-year contract with the Gold Coast Titans.[3]

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