Manchester City
Henshall joined Manchester City from Swindon Town on 10 June 2010, after being named on the Swindon substitute's bench twice. Henshall spent eight years at Swindon Town as part of the academy setup before joining Manchester City at the age of 16 for an undisclosed fee. He made his debut for the City academy on 25 July, and won a penalty which started off an 8–0 rout against German side Empor Berlin. City coach Scott Sellars said that Henshall "was a real threat" and "looks like a real talent".
At the end of the 2013–14 season, Henshall was released by the club upon the expiry of his contract.
Chesterfield (loan)
On 30 January 2013, Sky Sports reported that Coventry City were considering a loan move for Henshall. On 22 February 2013, Henshall joined Chesterfield on a one-month-loan-deal. He made his debut on 23 February, replacing Jay O'Shea in the 53rd minute of a 1–0 defeat at home to league leaders Gillingham. He made his full debut three days later, starting in a 0–0 draw at home to Aldershot Town, although he was replaced at half-time by Jack Lester. On 28 March, his loan deal was extended by Chesterfield until the end of the season. On 29 April, his loan deal ended and he returned to Manchester City.
Bristol Rovers (loan)
On 17 October, along with Birmingham City defender Will Packwood, he signed on a month-long loan for League Two club Bristol Rovers. Upon arrival, Rovers manager John Ward said that "Alex comes looking for an opportunity to get his career going again, "We've spoken to the guys at Manchester City and he is another player that they have high hopes for. "He obviously would like to ignite his career in the Premier League with Manchester City, which is an extremely difficult thing for a young player to do. "He is an ambitious young man and I admire his desire to come out in a bid to improve his own career. He's quite direct in his play and likes to run at defenders." He made his debut two days later, replacing Ryan Brunt in the 63rd minute of a 1–0 defeat at home to Wycombe Wanderers. In the following game on 22 October, he scored his first professional career goal in a 2–1 defeat away to Accrington Stanley. After making two appearance and scoring once for the club, it announced that Henshall will have his loan spell with Bristol Rovers extended.

After leaving Manchester City, Henshall joined Ipswich Town as a free agent by signing a two-year contract on 27 June 2014. Henshall said: "Ipswich was always at the top of my list when I knew I would be moving on and it was an easy decision for me to make. I spoke to my family and my agent but it was a no-brainer really. I know what the manager wants from me and I like working under him and with the Club moving forward in the right direction, everything felt right." He made his debut for the club on 12 August, starting in a League Cup match which Ipswich lost 1–0 to Crawley Town in extra-time.
Henshall joined Championship's rivals Blackpool in a month-long loan deal on 9 January 2015.
