Scout report

Squad depthFull-back

R. Henry is a 29-year-old full-back at Brentford, rated 51.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 303rd of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (51.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.89 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Henry.

Judged on this season alone, Henry graded 20 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 50th of 64 of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League, on 4 clean sheets and 1.889 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 20). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 51, 49th of 64 of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League. At 29 Henry is in his prime years, and a market index of 33.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Henry missed 9 games through injury (muscle, hamstring) out of roughly 38 this season. The 25 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

1.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 25 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 95.8/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 51.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.89 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 51.4, Henry carries the 49th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League of 64. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.89 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
