Andrew Henderson (born 17 June 1979 in Torquay, Devon) is a former English professional rugby league footballer and the head coach at the London Broncos since 2 March 2015.
A Scotland international representative hooker, he previously played for Gateshead Thunder, Castleford Tigers, Balmain Tigers, Salford, Barrow and Sheffield Eagles.
Henderson began his professional career in England in 2001 with super league side Salford City Reds. With limited opportunities there, Henderson moved to Northern Ford Premiership club Barrow Raiders for the 2002 and 2003 seasons. He captained the Raiders for the 2003 season. Soon after, Super League side Widnes Vikings snapped up Henderson for a trial period, in which he featured for them in the 2004 Sydney World Sevens tournament, and a friendly match against the Wests Tigers. He failed to agree a deal with Widnes and subsequently joined the Wests Tigers, captaining their premier league side Balmain Tigers in 2004.
Henderson joined Castleford Tigers for the 2005 season after their relegation from the Super League. He spent 4 seasons at the club. Henderson captained the side twice to promotion to the Super League in 2005 and 2007. The 2008 Super League season was to be his final year at Castleford after the club and Henderson failed to agree terms on a new deal. Henderson wanted to stay and made it clear to the fans in the final game of the season. The Castleford fans also wanted Henderson to stay and in the final home game the fans sung his name and chanted 'Sign him on!' Also during 2008, Henderson, along with brother Kevin, made head lines when they were set to take the Rugby Football League to court over rules changes to the current quota system, which they felt would affect their super league careers.
