Liam Henderson, born on 23 August 1996 (age 29), is a Scottish defender and defensive midfielder whose senior career is most closely tied to Falkirk. At 6ft 3in (1.91m), he brings the sort of frame expected for the job, without needing much theatre made of it.
Falkirk has been the substantial spell. Across four league seasons he has made 92 appearances and scored nine goals, with 2024-2025 his most productive campaign: six goals in 35 league games. For a player used centrally, either in defence or holding midfield, that was a useful return rather than a footnote.
In 2026-2027, Henderson has made one league appearance for Falkirk, along with four League Cup appearances, where he scored once, and three Scottish Cup outings. That gives him eight appearances and one goal across all competitions for the season so far.
His current market value is around £85,000, according to Transfermarkt. Henderson’s career is a straightforward one to place: a tall Scottish centre-back or defensive midfielder, with Falkirk providing the main body of his senior football.
