Henshall began his career at home-town club Swindon Town and turned down approaches from Manchester United and Liverpool in order to sign for Manchester City.

After loan spells at Chesterfield, Bristol Rovers and Ipswich Town, the pacey winger joined the Tractor Boys on a permanent basis.

A move north of the border to Kilmarnock was followed by spells in non-League football with Margate, Braintree Town and then Nuneaton, two years ago, where he met up with then-manager Tommy Wright, whom he followed to Darlington.

He made 26 appearances for the Quakers last season but returned to Nuneaton in June 2019 to be closer to his Wiltshire home and young family.

Henshall also played extensively in England’s Youth set-up, winning almost 20 caps and playing in two major tournaments.
