Before joining the Blackburn Rovers Academy, Henley spent some time in the youth system of Manchester United. He was also at Chorley Harriers' juniors.[5] During his progress to the Blackburn Rovers Academy, he was coached by Manager Gary Bowyer from the U12 side to the U18 side.[6]

A speedy full back who can play either on the right or the left, Henley quickly progressed from the Blackburn Rovers Academy to become a regular member of the reserve squad.[7]

Henley made his first appearance for the senior squad on 16 July 2011, coming on as a late substitute in their pre-season match against Accrington Stanley.[8] He was also a part of the first team squad that traveled to Hong Kong to play in the 2011 Premier League Asia Trophy.[9] Ahead of the 2011–12 season, he was given a number 39 shirt.[10]

In the 2011–12 season, it wasn't until on 19 November 2011 when Henley made his professional – and Premier League – debut, replacing Míchel Salgado and playing the entire second half in a 3–3 draw against Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium.[11] On 26 December 2011, Henley earned his first start and played the full 90 minutes against Liverpool at Anfield, which finished in a 1–1 draw.[12] Four days later, Henley signed a new two-and-a-half-year deal, his first professional contract at Blackburn Rovers.[13] He was involved in one of the most remarkable results of the 2011–12 season on 31 December 2011, playing the full 90 minutes at left back in a 3–2 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford. Henley helped set up the corner that Blackburn got their winner off as they beat Manchester United for the first time since 2005 at Old Trafford.[14] Henley later made two appearances for the rest of the 2011–12 season, both were starts against Queens Park Rangers and Chelsea.[15] However, he made seven appearances for the side, as they were relegated from the Premier League after losing 1–0 to Wigan Athletic.[16] Despite this, he was awarded the club's Young Player of the Year.[17]

At the start of the 2012–13 season, Henley's first team opportunities became more limited under manager Steve Kean, as Bradley Orr took his position in the right back; and was sent to the reserve side instead.[18] Kean left the club and was replaced by former player Henning Berg. Under Berg, Henley received playing opportunities in the right back position.[19] He made his first appearance of the 2012–13 season, starting the whole game, in a 2–0 loss against Crystal Palace on 3 November 2012.[20] Henley soon received a run of first team appearance lead to Henley signing a new deal on 7 December 2012, keeping him until 2017.[21] Shortly after signing a new contract, Henley revealed he was close to leaving Blackburn Rovers on loan before his first-team return.[22] However, shortly after Berg's sacking, he found himself in the sidelined after suffering a hamstring injury and was sidelined for four to six weeks following a scan.[23] It wasn't until on 26 February 2013 when he returned from injury, coming on as a second–half substitute, in a 3–0 loss against Leicester City.[24] After appearing the next two matches for the side, however, he suffered another hamstring injury and was sidelined for the rest of the season.[25] Despite the injury, he went on to make 17 appearances in all competitions at the end of the 2012–13 season.

Ahead of the 2013–14 season, Henley returned to training following his recovery from a hamstring injury.[26] However, he was sent to the reserve squad instead at the start of the season.[27] Henley also faced a new competition from Todd Kane over the right–back position.[28] After appearing as unused substitute in number of matches, he made his first appearance of the season, starting the whole game, in a 0–0 draw against Queens Park Rangers on 7 December 2013.[29] Following this, Henley received a handful of first team appearances and took his position in the right back from Kane.[30] He remained in the starting eleven until he suffered ankle injury and was sidelined for the rest of the season.[31] Despite suffering ankle injury, Henley went on to make 22 appearances in all competitions.

Ahead of the 2014–15 season, Henley was publicity called out by Manager Bowyer to fight for his first team place in the right–back position.[32] In response, Henley said he's determined to fight for his first team place for the new season.[33] At the start of the 2014–15 season, he continued to rehabilitate from ankle injury and didn't return until August.[34] It wasn't until on 12 August 2014 when he returned from injury, starting the whole game, in a 1–0 defeat to Scunthorpe United in the first round of the League Cup.[35] Since returning from injury, Henley played out in either the right–back position and left–back position, though he was in competition with Alex Baptiste (and Ben Marshall) and Marcus Olsson respectively.[36] Although Henley's impressive display during the side for three matches in October, Henley remained himself behind a pecking order in the first team later on.[37] In addition facing his own injury concern, Henley continued to found himself out of the first team between late–December and mid–February.[38] During those months, Henley was featured in three matches, all of them were FA Cup against Charlton Athletic, Swansea City and Stoke City.[39] It wasn't until on 17 February 2015 when he played his first league match for the first time in two months, in a 1–1 draw against Cardiff City.[40] Henley scored his first goal for Blackburn in a 2–1 win at Sheffield Wednesday on 4 March 2015.[41] After this, Henley regained his first team place at Blackburn Rovers for the rest of the season, playing in the right–back position.[42] At the end of the 2014–15 season, he went on to make a total of 24 appearances and scoring once in all competitions.

Ahead of the 2015–16 season, Henley found himself competing the right–back position with Ryan Nyambe.[43] He started the whole game in the right–back position, in a 2–1 loss against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the opening game of the season.[44] He briefly appeared the first three matches of the season before briefly missing out one game, due to fitness concern.[45] Henley returned to the first team after missing out one game, starting the whole game, in a 0–0 draw against Bolton Wanderers on 28 August 2015.[46] Even returning, he continued to regain his first team place in the right–back position.[47] His 50th league appearance for the side came on 13 September 2015, which saw Blackburn Rovers lose 2–1 to Fulham, which he described it as "a good milestone for him personally".[48] However, in a 3–0 defeat to Milton Keynes Dons on 17 October 2015, Henley was sent–off in an early first half after he "was adjudged to have brought down Josh Murphy in the box for a penalty".[49] As a result, Henley served a one match suspension.[50] Under new Manager Paul Lambert, Henley found himself, competing with loan signing, Doneil Henry.[51] However, at the beginning of January, he soon lost his first team place to Marshall.[52] For the rest of the 2015–16 season, Henley often be used in first team ins and out, leading him to appear as an unused substitute in number of matches.[53] At the end of the season, he went on to make a total of 26 appearances in all competitions.
