Recalling his transition from Hearts in the Scottish Premiership to Stenhousemuir in the Scottish League One on loan in July 2015, he made 11 first team appearances and scored one goal in the 2015 - 2016 season. Following this stint, he made a more permanent move from Hearts to Falkirk, also in the Premiership, in July 2016.
Over the course of the following seasons, his contributions to Falkirk were notable. In his 2022 - 2023 season, he made 22 appearances and scored two goals, and in the 2024 - 2025 season, he recorded 35 appearances and six goals. The current 2025 - 2026 season sees Henderson with 31 appearances and one goal so far.
Henderson has spent time on loan at Cowdenbeath in the Lowland League, with 17 first team appearances in the 2016 - 2017 season, and Edinburgh City in the League Two, with seven appearances in the 2017 - 2018 season.
By January 2018, he facilitated a permanent transfer from Falkirk to Edinburgh City, and enjoyed a brief tenure with the Stirling Lions in Australia's NPL, before returning to Edinburgh City in August 2018 for an undisclosed fee.
In more recent times, Henderson transferred from Edinburgh City to Arbroath in the Championship in July 2021, and subsequently from Arbroath to his current club, Falkirk, in July 2022.
Beyond league games, Henderson participated in the League Cup (2025 - 2026) for Falkirk with five starts, and the Scottish Cup (2025 - 2026) for Falkirk with three starts.
However, it's worth noting Henderson's frequent transfers and loans spell a journeyman career which, while adding a variety of experiences, often results in a lack of steady development and improvement that can potentially come with a consistent environment. Nevertheless, Henderson continues to compete and contribute significantly to his current team, Falkirk.
