    An unusual path:

    Following a redshirt freshman year at UMass, Henry found himself at a Pro Soccer Consulting combine on Long Island, performing before coaches and talent scouts from around the world. He was invited to train with Orebro SK in Sweden for a few weeks, which was quickly followed by an offer to train with Longford Town FC in Ireland.

    After two months at Longford Town, Henry played for Tolka Rovers, a third-tier team in the League of Ireland. He’s also studying business and finance at Dublin City University and playing for its team.​

    That's sub-PDL amateur in Ireland. Club soccer really. If he gets a monthly bus pass out of it I'd be surprised.
