Liam Henderson is a Scottish-born midfielder, born on 23 August 1996. At the ripe age of 29, he currently holds his position primarily as a central defensive midfielder for Falkirk, donning the number 5 jersey. Standing 6ft 3in (1.91m) tall and weighing 12st 1lb (77kg), Henderson is a formidable presence in the midfield.
His current market value floats around £85K, according to data from Transfermarkt.
Henderson began his professional career with Hearts in the Scottish Premiership, post which he made a series of moves that included loan stints at Stenhousemuir, Cowdenbeath, and Edinburgh City in the years surrounding 2015-2017. At Stenhousemuir alone in the 2015-16 season, he made 11 first-team appearances and secured a single goal in league matches.
He eventually made a permanent move from Hearts to Falkirk in the Premiership in 2016, a team he contributed significantly towards. The 2022-23 season at Falkirk saw Henderson make 22 first-team appearances and net two goals in league matches. This upward trajectory continued into the 2024-25 season with a total of 35 first-team appearances and an impressive six goals in league matches. Currently, in the 2025-26 season at Falkirk, Henderson has already made 25 first-team appearances and added another goal to his tally in league matches.
Albeit, his journey with Falkirk was slightly tarnished when, in January 2017, Henderson was loaned out to Cowdenbeath in the Lowland League, after which he continued the loan cycle by moving to Edinburgh City and later to Stirling Lions in Australia in 2018. Upon finishing his loan, he returned to Edinburgh City from the Australian league in August 2018 after an undisclosed fee.
Henderson later moved from Edinburgh City to Arbroath in the Championship in July 2021 before finally coming full circle back to Falkirk in July 2022. This return to Falkirk again has witnessed him hold his own. He has already played in 22 first-team matches and contributed two goals in the 2022-23 season. By the 2024-25 season, he upped his game to 35 first-team appearances and scored six league goals. As of the ongoing 2025 - 2026 season, he has already made 25 first-team appearances and notched one goal.
His contributions cannot be overlooked in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 season for Falkirk, where he made five starts. In the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026 for Falkirk, he not only marked his presence but also ensured his contribution with a start.
