Paul Henderson Biography

Paul Henderson is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on April 22, 1976 in Sydney, Sydney, Australia. Paul John Henderson (born 22 April 1976) is an Australian footballer who plays for Sydney Olympic FC as a goalkeeper in the National Premier Leagues.

Henderson has never played at international level to date. However, he was placed on standby by an initial draft from the Australia national team on 26 September 2006 for forthcoming matches against Paraguay on 7 October and Bahrain the following Wednesday.

With the loan signings of goalkeepers Márton Fülöp and Ben Alnwick, Henderson spent much of the 2007–08 season on the substitute’s bench. He managed to play a total of 14 league games, conceding 16 goals and making 5 clean sheets as Leicester were relegated at the end of the season.

In the 2008–09 season, Henderson’s first team place was shared with loan signing David Martin. He started the first game of the season against Milton Keynes Dons, keeping a clean sheet in a 2–0 victory. On 23 September 2008, he saved two shots from a penalty shoot-out in a Football League Trophy match against Lincoln, with Leicester winning 3–1 on penalties. However, Henderson conceded two goals in the next round in a 2–0 defeat to Rotherham United, a match which manager Nigel Pearson described as their worst performance of the season. After a show of poor form from David Martin, Henderson was given a run in the first team in November 2008, but suffered a groin injury that same month in a 2–1 win at Scunthorpe United, which would turn out to be his last appearance for the club. David Martin suffered an injury himself in February 2009, resulting in the club eventually having to sign three goalkeepers on loan, including David Stockdale and Tony Warner. Nonetheless, he was presented with a medal on 24 April after Leicester had won the League One title.

Henderson signed a two-year contract with Leicester City on a free transfer in the summer of 2005. He joined fellow Australians Patrick Kisnorbo, James Wesolowski and then-teammate Danny Tiatto in the squad. Henderson was brought to Leicester as an understudy to Rab Douglas, stating he was “willing to fight for his place” and that he felt Leicester was a club “moving in the right direction”. After Douglas came under criticism for inconsistent performances, Henderson had a run of matches in the first team under new boss Rob Kelly, making 15 appearances during the 2005–06 season.

Henderson then moved to England in July 2004 and had an unsuccessful trial with Blackpool, before signing for Bradford City in August on a one-year contract. He initially came to England for a trial at Ipswich Town and met a goalkeeper coach there, who put him in touch with an agent who brought him to Bradford.

Henderson started his career in club football in Australia. He played in the New South Wales Premier League for Sutherland before signing for NSL club Northern Spirit until the club became defunct in 2004.

At the start of the 2006–07 season, Henderson played himself into the first choice position, and despite losing his place for a short term to Conrad Logan he soon regained his spot in the team. Despite conceding 36 goals in 28 league games, Leicester nevertheless survived relegation. With Henderson’s contract close to expiring, he attracted the interest of Wigan, Aston Villa and Norwich in the January transfer window. He later allayed any fears of leaving by signing a new two-year contract with Leicester on 16 January.

Henderson’s form later attracted the interest of Nottingham Forest, who sent scouts to assess him. However, a 4–1 defeat to Milton Keynes Dons convinced the club to think otherwise, while then-manager of Bradford Colin Todd believed Henderson was distracted by the transfer news. Despite impressing during his time at Bradford, Henderson rejected the club’s three-year contract renewal offer, instead joining Leicester City on trial on 6 May.
