The forward joined his new side on a one-year deal with an option to renew with the team for another year after passing his medical and ergometric tests.
While his journey has been marked by moves and transfers, it’s intriguing to note that Henty missed out on representing the Flying Eagles, Olympic Eagles, or the Super Eagles at the international level.
Despite this, the 30-year-old striker boasts a collection of titles and laurels in his trophy cabinet, a sign that his contributions on the field was also worth the career journey.
In a recent match, Henty featured for 46 minutes during AEL Limassol’s intense 4-3 victory over AEZ Zakakiou in the Cypriot First Division.
Though he played only half of the game, Henty couldn’t manage to produce a shot, score a goal, or register an assist.
Nonetheless, his journey as a footballer continues, with fans and observers eagerly watching where his path will lead next.
