Liam Henderson, a native son of Scotland, was born on the 23rd of August, 1996, which currently makes him 29 years in age. Henderson plies his trade as a midfielder, primarily occupying a central defensive role for Falkirk. He carries an impressive frame on the pitch standing at 6ft 3in (1.91m) and a sporting weight of 12st 1lb (77kg). He can be quickly spotted on the field wearing the number 5 jersey on his back. His current market value hovers around the £85.5k mark, as presented by Transfermarkt.
In the summer of 2015, Henderson was loaned to Stenhousemuir in Scotland’s League One from the leading Scottish Premiership team, Hearts. During the 2015-2016 season at Stenhousemuir, Henderson made himself known racking up 11 appearances in the first team and proving his worth with one goal to his name in league matches.
A year later, in July 2016, he was transferred from Hearts to Falkirk, still in the Premiership. His performance steadily improved with each passing season in Falkirk. In the season of 2022-2023, he made 22 appearances and scored twice while the following season saw him making 35 appearances and contributing 6 goals to his team's tally. As of the current 2025-2026 season, he's already made 27 first team appearances and scored once.
In January 2017, he was loaned to Cowdenbeath in the Lowland League where he made an additional 17 league appearances. Then came a string of short tenures, including loans to Edinburgh City in League Two and Stirling Lions in Australia's NPL, before eventually returning and being transferred to Edinburgh City in the League Two in Scotland in January 2018.
Come August 2018, he transferred back to the Stirling Lions in Australia’s NPL and was promptly sold back to Edinburgh City in Scotland, albeit for an undisclosed fee. He once again proved his worth on the field with seven league appearances that season. His journey continued, moving to Arbroath in the Championship in Scotland in July 2021 and a year later, rounding back to Falkirk in Scotland's Premiership.
Henderson has also made appearances in significant cup competitions, being a regular starter for Falkirk in the League Cup 2025-2026 with five starts and even earning a start in the Scottish Cup 2025-2026. Even amidst the constant shuffling between clubs and leagues, Henderson consistently shows his reliability and skill as a midfielder which undoubtedly serve his current squad, Falkirk, quite well.
