Adam David Henley (born 14 June 1994) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a defender for Championship club Blackburn Rovers, he will be a free agent when his contract ends 30 June. He can operate in both the right-back and striker slot. Born in Tennessee, USA to a Welsh mother and American father, he moved with his family when he was two years old to England, where he was raised.
Henley was born in Knoxville, Tennessee to a Welsh mother and an American father and moved with his family to Chorley in England when he was two years old. He attended Clayton-le-Woods Church of England Primary School, and St Michael's High School. Before joining the Blackburn Rovers Academy, Henley spent some time in the youth system of Manchester United.
A speedy full back who can play either on the right or the left, Henley quickly progressed from the Blackburn Rovers academy to become a regular member of the reserve squad.
Henley made his first appearance for the senior squad on 16 July 2011, coming on as a late substitute in their pre-season match against Accrington Stanley. He was also a part of the first team squad that traveled to Hong Kong to play in the 2011 Barclays Asia Trophy.
On 19 November, Henley made his professional – and Premier League – debut, replacing Míchel Salgado and playing the entire second half in a 3–3 draw against Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium. On 26 December, Henley earned his first start and played the full 90 minutes against Liverpool at Anfield, which finished in a 1–1 draw. Four days later, Henley signed a new two-and-a-half-year deal, his first professional contract at Rovers.
