Joline Henry (born 29 September 1982 in Whanganui, New Zealand) is a New Zealand netball player. Henry is a current member of the New Zealand national netball team, the Silver Ferns, and has played for the Waikato/Bay of Plenty Magic (2008-2009) and the Northern Mystics (2010-2011) in the ANZ Championship. In 2012, Henry is with the Central Pulse for the 2012 ANZ Championship.

Henry started in the Coca-Cola Cup (later the National Bank Cup) in 1999 as a 15-year-old playing for the Western Flyers.[1] She moved to the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic after two years, winning two National Bank Cup titles in 2005 and 2006.[2]

Henry was selected for the Silver Ferns in 2003, and made her on-court debut the following year against Australia. She missed out on the team for the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne,[3] but was selected for the 2007 Netball World Championships in Auckland, where New Zealand finished runners-up. She was also included in the Silver Ferns side that won the inaugural World Netball Series in 2009 and the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi.[4][5]

With the start of the ANZ Championship in 2008, Henry remained with the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic. But in 2009, after eight years with the Magic franchise, Henry announced through her agent that she was moving to the Auckland-based Northern Mystics, following a contract dispute.[6] She was joined by fellow Silver Ferns and former Magic teammate Maria Tutaia for the 2010 season.[7] Henry later on moved to the [Central Pulse]] and still currently plays there.== references ==
