Andrew Henderson (born 17 June 1979 in Torquay, Devon) is an English Professional rugby league footballer for Gateshead Thunder. His usual position is at hooker. He has previously played for Castleford Tigers, Balmain Tigers, Salford, Barrow. Henderson began his professional career in England in 2001 with super league side Salford City Reds. With limited opportunies there, Henderson moved to Northern Ford Premiership club Barrow Raiders for the 2002 and 2003 seasons. He captained the raiders for the 2003 season. Soon after, super league side Widnes Vikings snapped up Henderson for a trial period, in which he featured for them in the 2004 Sydney World Sevens tournament, and a match against the Wests Tigers. He failed to agree a deal and subsequently joined the Wests Tigers, captaining their premier league side Balmain Tigers. Henderson joined Castleford Tigers in 2005 and was made captain by then coach Dave Woods gaining promotion to the super league. He lost the captaincy for the 2006 super league season. In 2007 he was made captain again by Terry Matterson for the NL1 campaign and again the club gained promotion. In 2008 Henderson lost the captaincy again for super league. This was to be his final season for Castleford after himself and the club failed to come to an agreement over a new deal. Henderson wanted to stay and made it clear to the fans in the final game of the season. Henderson, along with brother Kevin were set to take the Rugby Football League to court over rules changes to the current quota system, which they felt would affect their super league careers. He signed for Championship side Gateshead Thunder soon after. [edit] Representative careerThe Hendersons are a Scottish family and all three brothers play for Scotland at international level.
