“Henry has been at the club since he was a young boy. I’ve had the pleasure of coaching him for the past 6 seasons, and I can honestly say it’s been an absolute privilege.

He’s been a true leader, both on-and-off the pitch, and has lead by example consistently over the years.

When I asked if any of my players wanted to help with the Pan-Disability team, I knew Henry would be the one to volunteer before I even sent the message out. His willingness to go above and beyond to help others is something to behold.

Henry has given up his Saturdays over the last 12 months, providing the children in the Pan-Disability team opportunities to play football. Every time I walk past with the dog, I can see the kids beaming when they’re playing with Henry and they just feed off his energy.

I’d also like to thank Dave Norton for being an excellent mentor for Henry during this time, and also Cathy, Henry’s mum, who has stepped in on numerous occasions to help out with sessions.

Henry epitomises what Melbourne Dynamo are about. We step up when needed and we help each other out. We are one club, one community and Henry shows that every time he pulls on a Dynamos top. He is a brilliant young leader, and I hope he remains part of this club for a very long time.”
