Ronnie Henry (born 2 January 1984) is an English footballer who currently plays for Stevenage. In May 2007 he was the first player to lift a competitive trophy at the new Wembley Stadium, as captain of Stevenage.
Henry started his career on the books at Tottenham Hotspur, and although he was a regular feature in the reserve side, he never played a first–team game during his three-year spell with the North London club. In 2003, he was sent on loan to Southend United until the end of the 2002–03 season – playing three times for the club. In November 2003, Henry was released by his parent club after being deemed surplus to requirements. He spent nine months without a club, before signing for Irish side Dublin City on a short–term contract in August 2004. Henry played 12 times for Dublin before being released four months later due to financial problems at the club.
In January 2005, Henry joined Hertfordshire side Stevenage until the end of the club's 2004–05 campaign. He was part of the side that made the Conference National play–off final in 2005, falling one game short of promotion to the Football League. The following season, he was made captain, and was part of the Stevenage side that won the FA Trophy in the first ever competitive final at Wembley Stadium; ultimately becoming the first ever player to lift a competitive trophy at the new stadium in May 2007. He enjoyed FA Trophy success once more in 2009, before being an instrumental part of the side that earned promotion to the Football League the following season. Henry played a key part during the club's 2010–11 campaign, helping Stevenage earn promotion to League One. In May 2012, Henry left Stevenage after seven years with the club and joined nearby club Luton Town, where he was made club captain. In his second season at Luton, Henry was part of the team that won the Conference Premier title. He has also played four times for the England C team. He left after not being able to agree a new contract.
