RONNIE HENRY has announced his retirement from football – just two weeks after signing for Bishops Langley FC.
The veteran defender, who made over 400 appearances in the EFL, suffered a fractured fibula after three games with his new club.
Henry signed for non-league Bishops Langley on 15 January and hung up his boots on the 31st.
A product of Tottenham Hotspur’s academy, Henry played in the EFL for 12 seasons. He signed for Stevenage in 2005 and made 280 appearances, scoring three times.
He then signed for Luton Town in 2012 – at that time in the Conference Premiership. He was swiftly made club captain.
In his second season with the Hatters, Henry led them to the league title. He led the defence which kept a record 23 clean sheets.
Luton Town have paid tribute to their league winning skipper via X today: “Our Conference-winning captain and current academy coach Ronnie Henry has hung up his boots at the age of 42”.
After his two year stint at Kenilworth Road, Henry returned to Stevenage, where he spent a further five seasons.
He played under Manchester United icon Teddy Sheringham during the 2015/16 season.
At 35 years of age Henry returned to non-league. He spent two years with Billericay Town. This was followed by a move to Royston Town and Potters Bar Town.
