Henry is a formidable defender with excellent vision and a game-breaking ability to drive the ball quickly to her forward line and has enjoyed a long and illustrious career with the national side taking her past 50 caps for the Silver Ferns.
Henry was first selected for the Silver Ferns in 2004, and made her on-court debut that 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, a career highlight for the veteran defender.
At 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 franchise, Henry proved she was not adverse to change when she joined the Auckland-based Northern Mystics.
Although Henry hasn't shone in the Mystics' run through to the Grand final she has been consitent for the sides success.
