Born in Amsterdam, Henry played as a child at Zuid-Oost United in Amsterdam until he was scouted by FC Utrecht at nine years-old. He played right wing before switching to right back and centre back.[2] He left FC Utrecht to join AFC Ajax in 2019.[3] He signed his first professional contract with the Amsterdam club in April 2021, agreeing a three-year deal until June 2024.[4] Later that year he suffered a knee injury which kept him out for months and hampered his development.[5] On 13 January 2023, Henry made his debut in the Eerste Divisie for Jong Ajax appearing as a second-half substitute against De Graafschap.[6]
Henry is capable of playing at right back and centre back.[7]
In May 2022 Henry was selected for the Dutch U17 squad for the 2022 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[8] Henry was a regular in the side as they reached the final before losing 2–1 to France U17s.[9][10]
