Club career[edit]

Colo-Colo[edit]

At the end of 2007, Henríquez contract was not renewed with Chilean Colo-Colo. After the 2007 Clausura championship game, he did not celebrate much with the team as he knew the team was not going to renew his contract. He was injured and could not finish his last game with Colo-Colo. He left the club as one of the most decorated players in club history and was the team's captain. In the 2006 Clausura Tournament, Henríquez led them to the championship, which was the twenty-fifth in Colo-Colo's storied history. He made his professional debut playing defender for Colo-Colo on 11 February 1995.

International career[edit]

Henríquez also made appearances with the Chile national team from 2001 to 2003. He was a member of the national squad competing at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, which won the bronze medal.[2] Previously, he took part in the Pre-Olympic Tournament.[3]
