Liam Henderson

Liam Henderson of Falkirk was born on 23 August 1996 (age 29).

Liam Henderson, born in Scotland on 23 August 1996, is a dominating force in central midfield. Currently plying his trade for Falkirk, he utilises his impressive stature of 1.91m (6ft 3in) and lean weight of 77kg (12st 1lb) to command the central defensive midfield. Henderson proudly wears the number 5 jersey. Now aged 29, this hardworking midfielder boasts a market value floating around €100k, that's roughly £85k according to Transfermarkt.

Relaying his journey within the beautiful game, in July 2015 Henderson transferred on loan from Hearts in the Scottish Premiership to Stenhousemuir in Scotland's League One, netting one goal in 11 first team appearances during the 2015-16 season. Just a year later, a transfer saw him switch from Hearts to Falkirk, where he's spent multiple seasons performing at a steady level.

Between the 2022 and 2025 seasons, Henderson has consistently performed for Falkirk, accumulating 79 first team appearances and has found the back of the net nine times. As of the current 2025-26 season, he has continued to be a reliable figure on the pitch, making 22 appearances and scoring one goal in league matches.

During his time at Falkirk, this versatile player also spent time on loan at Cowdenbeath in the Lowland League and Edinburgh City in League Two. These experiences, although sometimes challenging, have forged him into a stronger, more resilient player.

Henderson's globetrotting career even took him to the National Premier Leagues in Australia, appearing for Stirling Lions in 2018 before returning to Scotland with Edinburgh City in the same year, then moving onto Arbroath in the Championship in 2021, and finally back to his current club, Falkirk, in 2022.

In Faulkirk's League Cup campaign for the 2025-2026 season, Henderson started in five matches, proving his importance in the squad. Despite his journeyman career, Liam Henderson continues to show consistency and resilience regardless of where he plays.
