Liam Henderson, born on 23 August 1996 (age 30), is a Scottish central defensive midfielder whose senior career has come to rest most firmly at Falkirk. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.91m), he has the frame for the less decorative parts of midfield, and that has largely been where his usefulness has sat.
His early development included loan football, the sort of spell that tends to sort theory from practice for young players. Whatever the finer details, the shape of the career is clear enough: Henderson became established not through a quick rise, but by building a body of work over time.
That work has been done mainly at Falkirk. Across four league seasons he has made 98 league appearances and scored nine league goals, with his most productive campaign coming in 2024-25, when he scored six times in 35 league matches. For a player operating from a defensive midfield brief, that was a useful return rather than window dressing.
In 2026-27, Henderson has made seven league appearances for Falkirk, along with four in the League Cup, where he scored once, and three in the Scottish Cup. His total for the season stands at 14 appearances and one goal in all competitions. His current market value is around £85,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Henderson’s career is not spread evenly across a string of clubs. It is chiefly a Falkirk career, built on regular games, practical midfield duties and one notably productive league season.
