In the mid-1980s, Henry tried to qualify for the professional tour through the WPBSA Pro Ticket Series , but failed early. After the professional tour was opened to all players for a certain entry fee in the early 1990s, Henry became a professional player for the 1992/93 season.

As a result, he was ranked 397th in the world. After he did not play any more professional games, he slipped to rank 404 and lost his professional status at the end of the 1994/95 season .

In the next season he reduced his PTC participation to two tournaments, namely the Paul Hunter Classic and the Antwerp Open , but had to admit defeat in the qualification.
