Dean Bradley Henderson (born 12 March 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Premier League club Crystal Palace and the England national team.

[11] On 22 February 2016, due to an injury crisis, Henderson was recalled from loan and had his first call-up to a senior Manchester United game, sitting on the bench during a 3–0 FA Cup victory away to Shrewsbury Town.

[22] However, Manchester United recalled Henderson from the loan spell on 3 February 2017, due to an injury to third-choice goalkeeper Joel Castro Pereira.

[37] On 8 April 2018, he played at Wembley Stadium in the 2018 EFL Trophy final against Lincoln City, which Shrewsbury Town lost 1–0, and later that month was one of only three players not from Wigan Athletic or Blackburn Rovers to be selected for the League One PFA Team of the Year.

[40] Henderson started in goal in the final when Rotherham United beat Shrewsbury Town 2–1 after extra time, and he saved a penalty from David Ball after nine minutes.

[43] On 18 June, he joined Championship club Sheffield United on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season,[44] helping them to secure promotion to the Premier League for the first time since 2007.

[45] During his season-long loan, Henderson won the club's Young Player of the Year Award,[46] as well as the Championship Golden Glove[47] keeping 20 clean sheets across the season.

[52] On 7 March, Henderson made a triple save, labelled "heroic" by Sky Sports, keeping out a Norwich City goal in a 1–0 victory.

[53] Henderson received praise again during Sheffield United's first game following project restart where he kept his 11th clean sheet of the season, making six saves in the process.

Following the match, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær confirmed that he sees Henderson as the club's future number one goalkeeper.

[57] He made his senior debut in September in the third round of the League Cup against Luton Town, keeping a clean sheet in the process during United's 3–0 win.

[58] He made his second appearance for United a week later in the fourth round of the League Cup, keeping another clean sheet in a 3–0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion.

[60] Twenty-five days later, he made his league debut for the club as a substitute for the injured David de Gea in a 3–2 away win over Southampton.

[66][67] This developed into long COVID, and saw Henderson out of the squad until late September when he played in United's League Cup opener, where defeat to West Ham saw them exit the competition in their first game.

[69] Failing to regain his starting place, at the end Henderson accused Manchester United of making him "sit there and waste 12 months", "not [following] through with anything they told me", and refused to play under incoming manager Erik Ten Hag.

[74] On 14 August 2022, during his second appearance for the club, Henderson saved a penalty from Declan Rice and kept a clean sheet in a 1–0 win against West Ham as Forest won the first Premier League game played at the City Ground in 23 years.

[75] Henderson remained the club's starting goalkeeper until he sustained a season-ending thigh injury during a 2–0 win over Leicester City on 14 January 2023.

[81] After Johnstone sustained an elbow injury while training with England on 25 March,[82] Henderson returned to the Crystal Palace starting line-up for their 1–1 draw with Nottingham Forest five days later.

He retained his place in the Palace goal for the remainder of the season, keeping his first Premier League clean sheet for the Eagles in a 1–0 win over Liverpool at Anfield.

[89] He made one appearance at the tournament, in a group stage match against Guinea,[90] and was an unused substitute during England's victory against Venezuela in the final.

[95] On 8 October 2019, Henderson was called up to the senior England squad for the first time by manager Gareth Southgate as a replacement for the injured Tom Heaton.

[101] Henderson is known for his distribution with both his hands and feet as a goalkeeper, as well as his ability to claim crosses or to catch and punch high balls, with Rob Dawson of ESPN describing him as "more complete" than his teammate David de Gea in 2021.
