Playing career

Club

Henderson won a Donegal Senior Hurling Championship title with his club in 2010, and won a second one as captain in 2016.^[2][3] He then captained his club to the 2022 Donegal Intermediate Hurling Championship title.^[4]

Inter-county

Henderson made his debut for Donegal at the age of 17.^[1][5]

He came on as a late substitute in the final of the 2011 Lory Meagher Cup as Donegal claimed a first All-Ireland hurling title with victory over Tyrone.^[6]

He won the 2013 Nicky Rackard Cup with Donegal, playing in the final against Roscommon and scoring ten points (seven of which were frees).^[7][8]

Henderson played for Donegal during the 2018 National Hurling League, when the county recorded their first competitive victories over Derry and Down.^[9][10] Donegal also defeated Armagh in the closing game of that league campaign.^[11] Donegal went on to win the 2018 Nicky Rackard Cup, though Henderson's role in the final was limited to a late substitute appearance due to an ankle injury.^[12][13]

The Donegal News described Henderson in 2020 as "one of Donegal's most consistent performers for the last decade".^[1]

Injury forced him to retire from inter-county hurling at the end of the 2021 season.^[14]

Coaching career

Henderson coached the Donegal under-20 hurlers in 2022 under the management of Paul Burns.^[15]
