Scottish born, Liam Henderson (23 August 1996), is a native midfielder who, standing at a considerable stature of 6ft 3in (1.91m) and weighing 12st 1lb (77kg), primarily operates as a central defensive midfielder for Falkirk. Henderson dons the number 5 jersey as he steadfastly propels the ball across the field.
Currently, the burly midfielder's market value roughly converts to a modest £85k, according to Transfermarkt.
In July 2015, the Hearts switch to Stenhousemuir, a League One team in Scotland, marked Henderson's first transfer, albeit temporarily. Although merely on loan, Henderson made his presence known in the 2015-2016 season through his contribution of one goal in his 11 first-team appearances.
Henderson's career trajectory took a turn upwards when he signed on to Falkirk in the Premiership in July 2016, after waving Hearts a farewell. His effort from this period is highlighted by three seasons; the 2022-2023 season saw him make 22 appearances and score two goals; the 2024-2025 season saw him on the pitch 35 times, netting six goals, and in the ongoing season, 2025-2026, he's to date made 31 appearances punctuated with a singular scoring moment.
However, Henderson's career at Falkirk saw a brief interruption when he got loaned to Cowdenbeath in the Lowland League in January 2017. His presence there on loan for the 2016-2017 season was still significant as he ensured being part of 17 league matches.
Another loan soon followed in November 2017, this time to Edinburgh City in the League Two. His flit here saw a series of seven matches in the 2017-2018 season.
In a surprise move, January 2018 saw Henderson transfer from Falkirk yet again to Edinburgh City. However, this League Two spell was reminiscent of his loan stint, adding another seven match appearances to his career count.
His western sojourn to the Stirling Lions in the NPL in Australia in January 2018 was short-lived and saw his return to Scotland with Edinburgh City in August 2018. This term saw Henderson replay his earlier performance with seven first team appearances.
July 2021 marked another move, this time from Edinburgh City to Arbroath in the Championship. Continual evolution in his career path brought him back to Falkirk in July 2022 after just a year at Arbroath. He has since been a prominent presence on Falkirk's team sheet. His latest stint underlined the 2022-2023 season with two goals across 22 gameplay appearances, and in the 2024-2025 season, he nailed six goals in 35 appearances. The current 2025-2026 season sees him as a regular with 31 matches to his name and one goal under his belt.
Further attention should be drawn to Henderson's contribution to Falkirk's run in the League Cup 2025-2026 where he kicked off proceedings with five starts and the Scottish Cup 2025-2026 where he began on the field three times.
