Wayne Robert Hennessey (born 24 January 1987) is a Welsh international footballer who plays for Crystal Palace as a goalkeeper.
Hennessey's first professional games saw him set a new League Two record for consecutive clean sheets while on loan at . He played 166 times for Wolverhampton Wanderers over eight seasons, including three years at Premier League level. After several injury setbacks, he moved to join Crystal Palace in 2014.
A full international since 2007, Hennessey has earned more than 60 caps for Wales.
Hennessey is a cousin of Terry Hennessey, who earned 39 caps for Wales from 1962 to 1972. Hennessey, born in Bangor, Gwynedd, and raised in Beaumaris, Anglesey, was educated at Ysgol David Hughes but switched to Connah's Quay High School as it was easier to travel to Manchester. Hennessey began as a trainee at Manchester City but was released in 2003, whereupon he joined the youth academy at Wolverhampton Wanderers. After progressing through the ranks, he signed professional forms in April 2005.
After remaining in Wolves' reserve and youth teams during the 2005–06 season, Hennessey was sent on trial with Bristol City in July 2006 with a view to a loan move to gain first team experience but was recalled to Wolves after an injury to their first-choice goalkeeper Matt Murray. He did go back to Bristol City in August 2006, however, on a one-month loan deal, but he didn't make an appearance and returned to his parent club early due to an arm injury.
