He won two New Zealand NBL championships with the Auckland Stars in 1999 and 2000 and competed in the New Zealand NBL All-Star Game in 2001.
Henare competed for New Zealand at the 2001 Goodwill Games in Brisbane and the 2003 FIBA Oceania Championship. He has also competed professionally in FR Yugoslavia in 2002–03 with OKK Beograd.
He was a part of the inaugural New Zealand Breakers team in 2003 and was a New Zealand Breakers co-captain for the 2004–05 season, before becoming the full-time captain for the 2005–06 season.
