Career

Henry started her professional career in 1999 as a 15-year-old playing for the Western Flyers in the Coca-Cola Cup. She moved to the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic after two years, winning two National Bank Cup titles in 2005 and 2006.
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, 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.
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. She was joined by fellow Silver Ferns and former Magic teammate Maria Tutaia for the 2010 season. Henry later on moved to the Central Pulse and currently plays there.
