Thomas Michel David Henry (born 20 September 1994) is a French professional footballer who plays as a striker for Belgian Pro League club Standard Liège.[3]

Club career

Early career

Henry began his career at Beauvais and Fréjus Saint-Raphaël before joining Nantes in 2015. He made his Ligue 1 debut on 12 December 2015 against Toulouse FC in a 1–1 draw replacing Alejandro Bedoya after 72 minutes.[4]

Having made two appearances in Ligue 1 for Nantes he signed for Chambly on 15 June 2016.[5]

OH Leuven

Henry joined OH Leuven in January 2019 after impressing with Tubize in the Belgian second division, scoring 11 goals in the first half of the 2018–19 season.[6] He continued his good form with OH Leuven and scored a career-high 21 goals in the 2020–21 Belgian Pro League, second-most in the league. Following his good form throughout the 2020–21 season, Henry was linked with a number of clubs in Europe's top leagues including Celtic, Bordeaux, and Venezia.[2] In total, Henry scored 45 goals and added 12 assists in 79 matches across all competitions with OH Leuven over three-and-a-half seasons before his transfer in August 2021.[6]

Venezia

On 24 August 2021, newly promoted Serie A side Venezia announced that Henry had joined the club in a permanent deal.[6] The move came after intense transfer speculation throughout the summer, including earlier reports stating that OH Leuven had accepted a bid of £7 million by Scottish Premiership club Celtic.[2] He made his debut for the club three days later in a 3–0 defeat to Udinese.[7] He scored his first goal for the club in their next match, a 2–1 league win over Empoli on 11 September.[8]
