PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Trinidad and Tobago centre back Kobi Henry has signed a two-year deal to play with Major League Soccer (MLS) team, Real Salt Lake.
Henry will now play his trade in the USA after an initial loan move to French Ligue 2 team Stade de Reims, where he made 21 appearances.
The 21-year-old Henry was loaned to Real Salt Lake in January, but an early-season hamstring injury restricted him to just five games with the first team before he eventually played 14 matches for Salt Lake’s MLS Next Pro team, Real Monarchs.
Before the hamstring injury, Henry played in two Concacaf Champions Cup matches in February against Costa Rican powerhouse CS Herediano.
The deal is guaranteed through December 2027, with a club option for the subsequent year. An elated Henry said he was eager to show his worth at his new club.
“I’m incredibly excited to be signing permanently with RSL. Last season on loan taught me a lot, and I feel ready to make the next step.
“I’ve been working hard this off-season and can’t wait to help our team enjoy a successful season and show the community and all the RSL fans what I can bring,” Henry said.
Salt Lake’s Sporting Director, Kurt Schmid, is also happy to have the big centre-half in his ranks.
“We’re pleased to bring Kobi back to Real Salt Lake. His development during 2025 paid dividends late in the season, while his abilities on the backline across multiple setups will provide strong competition within our roster. We look forward to Kobi’s continued growth as a professional,” Schmid said.
Henry made his debut for T&T in September against Curacao and quickly became an automatic fit for coach Dwight Yorke’s squad as he proved to be a solid figure in the backline for the final round of FIFA 2026 World Cup qualification, playing all six matches.
