Henry first arrived in the US in the year 2010, when he signed a multi-year contract with the New York Red Bulls and became the team’s second designated player. He failed to win any trophy in his first two seasons as the Red Bulls were first eliminated from the quarterfinals of the 2010 MLS-Cup Playoffs, followed by a semi-final exit in the 2011 MLS-Cup Playoffs.
After a loan stint at Arsenal, Henry returned to the US in 2012 and got back to his best immediately as he scored a hattrick against Montreal Impact and also won the MLS Player of the Month award for March.
