Penrith star Liam Henry will leave the Panthers after the upcoming season to join the Perth Bears, expressing excitement for the challenge and gratitude to his current team.

Liam Henry, who began his rugby league career as a Blaney Bear, is set to join a new club in Perth after completing his final season with the Penrith Panthers. Henry acknowledged the challenges of relocating to Perth, a city he and his partner had never visited before being recruited by Mal Meninga, but described the opportunity as special.

Henry expressed deep appreciation for the Panthers, promising to give his all in his last year with the club. The Panthers, meanwhile, have started their rebuild with renewed determination after falling short last season, aiming to make a strong comeback in the upcoming NRL competition.

Liam Henry prepares for move to Perth after final season with Panthers

Born as a Blaney bear in the state's central west, Liam Henry is set to evolve into a big bear in the far west. It's pretty cool obviously with the full loop top moment, obviously as you said I was a Blaney bear and get the opportunity next year to play for Perth. Admitting the risk of the unknown is daunting, he and his partner had never been to Perth before being wined and dined by Malmeninga. Just the opportunity to start a club and play under Mal and the staff, it'll be really really special. It is a fair way away and it will have its ups and downs but I'm really looking forward to it. Even if it means leaving the place where he made his name. This club means everything to me and they gave me my first opportunity so I'll absolutely do everything I can for this team and the jersey to put it in the best stead. It's that love that drives his final year at the foot of the mountains, along with the dynasty breaking despair. While it's no bears build, the rebuild has begun in Panrath with plenty of fire in the belly. We did run home but we didn't get there and ultimately that's what you want to do. If you don't win it then it's not good enough so we're really really excited for this year and what we can do. The comp is already on notice, the Panthers are back with a vengeance.
