Point to prove: Henry hoping to shed 'injury prone' label and rebuild career in Vancouver

VANCOUVER, BC – After mutually parting ways with English Premier League club West Ham United FC in December, Doneil Henry knew his next move would have to be his “biggest one.”

The Canadian centre back joined West Ham with high hopes at the age of 21 but never managed to break into the first team – partly due to a devastating run of injuries, including an ACL tear suffered while on loan with AC Horsens in 2016.

That injury kept Henry sidelined for 15 months.

Now, more than ever, he needed an opportunity. The right opportunity.
