Alex McHenry (born 7 October 1997) is an Irish rugby union player for RFU Championship club Jersey Reds. He plays as a centre.

Early life

Born in Cork, McHenry won the Munster Schools Rugby Senior Cup in 2016 with Christian Brothers College, alongside former Munster teammate Liam Coombes.[1] Prior to this, McHenry had captained Munster under-19s to inter-provincial success in 2015, and also represented Munster under-18 Schools and Ireland under-19s.[2]

Career

Cork Constitution

McHenry was part of the Cork Con team that won a treble during the 2016–17 season, winning the All-Ireland League, All-Ireland Cup and Munster Senior Cup,[2] as well as winning a second Senior Cup and All-Ireland League during the 2018–19 season,[3][4] and a third Senior Cup during the 2019–20 season.[5]

Munster

McHenry made his debut for Munster A against English RFU Championship side Doncaster Knights in round 6 of the 2016–17 British and Irish Cup on 13 January 2017.[6] Munster A won the match 24–16 to secure a home quarter-final in the tournament,[7] which they eventually won by defeating Jersey Reds 29–28 in the final in April 2017, though McHenry was not part of the team on the day.[8] He went on to then join the Munster academy ahead of the 2017–18 season.[2] McHenry played in all 6 of Munster A's fixtures during the 2018–19 Celtic Cup,[9] and also played for the 'A' team in their 38–19 win against Major League Rugby side New England Free Jacks in the Cara Cup in April 2019.[10]

Following the win against New England, McHenry, along with other teammates from the 'A' team, were recalled to join up with the senior squad,[11] and he was subsequently named as a replacement for the 2018–19 Pro14 round 20 fixture against Italian side Benetton on 12 April 2019.[12] McHenry made his senior competitive debut for Munster when he came on as a replacement for Sammy Arnold during the match, which Munster won 37–28.[13] He joined the Munster senior squad on a one-year contract ahead of the 2020–21 season[14] and extended that deal by a further year in February 2021.[15] McHenry scored his first try for Munster in their 31–17 win against Italian side Benetton in round 16 of the 2020–21 Pro14 on 19 March 2021.[16] McHenry left Munster at the end of the 2021–22 season.[17]

Loan to Wasps

McHenry joined English Premiership Rugby club Wasps on loan in October 2021, providing cover for the injured Malakai Fekitoa.[18] He made his debut for the club in their 56–15 defeat against Saracens in round 6 of the 2021–22 Premiership Rugby season on 24 October 2021.[19]

Jersey Reds

McHenry joined RFU Championship club Jersey Reds ahead of the 2022–23 season,[20] and won the Championship in his first season with the club.[21]
