Across 81 matches Henshaw shows up as a high-volume, consistent contributor on both sides of the ball, averaging close to five carries and nearly five tackles per game over more than 3700 minutes of action. His carrying numbers point to a centre trusted to make hard yards through contact rather than around it, while his tackle output underlines a defensive workload that goes well beyond what most midfielders are asked to shoulder. Peak performances of 15 carries and 16 tackles in a single match confirm he can shift into a dominant gear when the game demands it.
