Henderson helped Dundee win the 1952–53 Scottish League Cup.[4] He was transferred to St Mirren in 1961 for £2,000, but a knee injury curtailed his playing career a year later.[5] He then became manager of Arbroath in October 1962, a position he held until January 1980. Arbroath twice won promotion to Division One during his time in charge, spending a total of four seasons in the top flight of the Scottish football league system.[5]
