James Henry's point to prove at Millwall

Wolves winger James Henry can show Millwall he’s on his way to becoming a Premier League player.That’s the view of Wolves head coach Kenny Jackett, who like Henry, returns to the New Den on Saturday for the first time since leaving.

Henry lost his place to Rajiv Van La Parra against Wigan last time out, but is hoping for a recall against one of his former clubs.

Jackett said: "First off, his aims now are to get in the side and stay in the team and then after that, like everyone, I think the important thing is to aim for the Premier League.

“He’s no different to any of us - you must have that aspiration, to try to be a Premier League player.”

But Henry, who scored against his first club Reading in Wolves’ last away game, has been told to expect stick against his old side.

Jackett said: “I think he’d rather play than be sub - it can be tough for subs at Millwall! The banter there is very sharp. He’s looking forward to it and I’m sure he’ll get a good reception.

“Just generally, he’s in quite good form. He’s fought back from the start of the season and there’s been quite a battle between him and Rajiv.

“They’re different types of players but both have been effective this season and I’ve been pleased with both of them.”

Jackett insists Henry, who helped Millwall to promotion to the Championship and played around 150 games for the Lions, has nothing to prove to them.

The Wolves boss said: “He did very well there for a number of years then I think with the change of manager, for whatever reason, they fell out.

“He got the move here and it’s been a really good one for him. It’s kicked him on again and his challenge now is to try to impose himself on the Championship.

“He’s made a bright start and let’s see if he can have a bright season for Wolves at this level.

“I’m sure he must have played 200 games now – he certainly played for three years in the Championship and he played regularly in it and played well.”
