Former U.S. Youth International and 21-Year-Old Florida Native
Departs to Host Jamaica and Bermuda in CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers
HERRIMAN, Utah (Monday, November 10, 2025) – Real Salt Lake announced today that 21-year-old centerback and former United States Youth International Kobi Henry has once again been selected by Trinidad & Tobago head coach Dwight Yorke to represent his parents’ homeland for upcoming home CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers against Jamaica and Bermuda in the upcoming week.
Henry has started and played the full 90 minutes in each of the four SocaWarriors’ qualifiers this fall, the centerback scoring once on a recycled set piece in the 3-0 Trinidad road win at Bermuda back on Oct. 10. In order to win its third-round Group B and advance to a playoff, Trinidad must defeat first-place Jamaica and likely needs the full three points against fourth-place Bermuda at home.
Henry – on loan to Utah’s Major League Soccer Club from French side Reims for the 2025 calendar year, amidst ongoing discussions regarding his 2026 return to Utah’s Major League Soccer side – started earlier this year at centerback in both of RSL’s Champions Cup matches against Herediano, playing the full 90 in each. Henry has appeared in three MLS contests this season off the bench, last seeing the field for RSL on March 22 against Dallas. After missing most of April and May due to a hamstring injury, Henry has stabilized both his own season and that of Real Monarchs in MLS NEXT Pro with a recent run of 13 games for Head Coach Mark Lowry’s playoff-bound team. When he played for RSL in February against Herediano, Henry made his first domestic appearance for a U.S. club since his then-USL-record transfer from Orange County to Reims three summers ago.
Henry, born in Lakeland, Fla., to Trinidadian parents, signed his first professional contract at age 16, with Orange County SC in June, 2020, following youth stints with both the Orlando City and Inter Miami youth academies. Since 2020, Henry has made seven appearances with various United States Youth National Teams at the U17, U19 and U20 levels.
The 6-foot-2 centerback had made 27 appearances in recent seasons for either Reims B or on loan with Villefranche, prior to his January arrival in Utah to kick off preseason with Head Coach Pablo Mastroeni’s team.
