# Doneil Henry joins Vancouver Whitecaps

Doneil Henry has completed a move to Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS, the [Canadian club’s website has confirmed](https://www.whitecapsfc.com/post/2017/12/22/whitecaps-fc-acquire-canadian-international-centre-back-doneil-henry?hootPostID=7a639d430e6f3378edb2fed226619521).

The 24-year old defender joined the Hammers from Cypriot side Apollon Limassol in 2015, and has now returned to his home country after his contract with the London club was terminated with mutual consent.

Henry only made a single appearance for West Ham, in a 2-1 away defeat to Romanian side FC Astra in the Europa League qualifying stage in August 2015.

Henry had two loan spells with Blackburn Rovers, neither of which saw him pull up any trees, and last season he joined Danish Superliga side AC Horsens, where an ACL tear in just his second start for the club brought his season to an early close.

Since returning to the club in January 2017, Henry has failed to break out into the West Ham first-team, and will now link up with his new club ahead of the next MLS regular season which kicks off in March.
