[edit] Playing career
[edit] Club career
Henderson played schoolboy football for Dublin side Cherry Orchard, before joining Aston Villa in 2001. He did not play for Villa's first team, but he wore the number 1 shirt in their FA Youth Cup win in 2002. During his time at Villa, Henderson was loaned out several times: to Tamworth in March 2004; Wycombe Wanderers (April–May 2004), Notts County (August to October 2004 and December 2004 to January 2005), and Brighton and Hove Albion (August to December 2005).
Following his loan spell at Brighton, he was purchased by the club in January 2005 for £20,000, which would have risen to £35,000 if they stayed in the Football League Championship in the 2005–2006 season.
On 30 January 2007, Henderson handed in a transfer request at the Seagulls after losing his first-team place to Michel Kuipers, and on 31 January he joined Preston North End for a fee of £150,000, which could rise to £250,000 depending on first-team and international appearances.
However, after only a handful of appearances for Preston North End, Wayne picked up a serious back injury in Auguast 2007. He was expected to return to training in time for pre season the following season, however complications with the injury kept him out for longer than expected. In October 2008, he returned to the reserve team but after a couple of appearances, the back injury returned and he is still out injured 18 months after the original injury occurred.
On February 27 2009 Wayne signed an initial one month loan deal with Grimsby Town. The Mariners had meant to sign Shane Supple from Ipswich Town on the previous day, but the deal fell through. Henderson was signed by Grimsby boss Mike Newell to fill the boots of current keeper Phil Barnes who's recent performances had dipped. Henderson was an integral part of the Grimsby side that managed to stave off relegation from the Football League.
[edit] International career
Henderson represented Republic of Ireland U-20 team at the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship, and was the first-choice goalkeeper for the Republic of Ireland Under-21 football team.
On 16 February 2006 Henderson received his first senior call up to the Republic of Ireland and made his international debut on 1 March 2006, playing in the second half of the 3–0 win over Sweden. He received his second cap in the 0-1 defeat to Chile, although keeping a clean sheet.
Henderson was also called up to face the Czech Republic in a Euro 2008 qualifer in October 2006; the final score was 1–1, and against San Marino in a Euro 2008 qualifier, finishing 2 - 1 to Ireland.
