Henry raced as cox of the men's eight at the 2010 World Rowing U23 Championships in Brest, Belarus winning a bronze medal.  Six weeks later he was the cox of the GB 2 'super eight' that won the 2010 E.ON Hanse Cup in Rendesburg by 18 seconds - the first-ever British winners of the Cup in Germany.

Henry was born and brought up close to the Tideway.  He started rowing at the age of 14 at Latymer Upper School Boat Club, initially under the leadership of Don McLachlan and Bobby Thatcher.  Afterwards he spent 2 years at the University of London Boat Club coxing both the women's and men's squads.

As a junior Henry represented Great Britain at the Coupe de la Jeunesse in 2006 where he won gold as cox of the men's coxed four.

In 2008 he finished 5th in the eight at the Brandenburg World U23 Championships, and in 2009 he coxed the same boat to take bronze at the World U23 Championships in Racice, Czech Republic. 

When he isn't coxing, Henry is studying Zoology at Imperial College London and has a particular interest in evolution and philosophy.

He enjoys watching films, spending time with friends and family, live music and eating.
