Henri began his career in domestic football with Diaraaf Dakar before moving to France and Strasbourg in 1998.
He was recommended to Neuchatel Xamax in Switzerland by former Senegal coach Claude Le Roy and they took him on loan for two seasons before he signed for Grasshoppers in July 2000 in time to win the 2001 title.
An attacking midfield player, Henri was a member of the Senegal squad for the 2000 African Nations' Cup finals and went on to play a key role in the qualification for the World Cup Finals.
He joined Sedan in 2001 where he linked up with his international teammates Moussa N'Diaye and Salif Alassane Diao.
He has good pace and is regarded as the best crosser of the ball in the team.
Henri scored both goals - including the Golden Goal winner - as Senegal beat Sweden in Oita to become only the second African nation to reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
Henri joined Wigan Athletic in August 2005 with a three-year contract that was extended to June 2009 in August 2006.
He joined Sheffield United in October 2009 with a contract to June 2010.
