Liam Henderson is a household name in Scotland, carving out a niche for himself as a proficient central defensive midfielder. Born on the 23rd of August, 1996, the Falkirk number 5 has displayed a consistent blend of tenacity and technical acumen throughout his career, attributes reflected in his current market value of around £85k (Transfermarkt). His stature, standing at an imposing 6ft 3in (1.91m) and 12st 1lb (77kg), has undoubtedly played a part in facilitating his dominance in challenging oppositions.
Henderson's career took a significant rise in July 2015, when he transferred on loan from Hearts to Stenhousemuir in the Scottish League One division. He made a significant impact in his short stay, clocking in 11 first team appearances and scoring once. July 2016 saw him make another move, this time to Falkirk in the Premiership. This marked a significant period in his career, with notable achievements in the seasons of 2022 - 2023, 2024 - 2025 and the current one in 2025 - 2026, involving collective first team appearances tallying to 79 and an impressive total of nine goals.
More moves ensued, with brief loan stints at Cowdenbeath and Edinburgh City, before returning to the latter in January 2018 on a permanent basis. He made seven first team appearances there before an intriguing switch to Stirling Lions in Australia's NPL. However, Henderson’s stay abroad was short-lived and by August 2018, he was back in Scotland, once again plying his trade with Edinburgh City. His final leap before Falkirk came in July 2021, when he transferred to Arbroath in the Championship.
Back at Falkirk in the Premiership, Henderson's performances in league matches remain a dominant force, repeating his feats from previous seasons. He has also marked his name on the 2025 - 2026 League Cup, with five appearances to his name. With his determination and skill, the narratives of Liam Henderson's sportsmanship are far from over.
