Self-clinging climber ID?

Hello,
I found this plant in my garden today clinging to the fence panel, hidden behind another I was cutting back. Not something I planted (previous owners might have) so wonder if anyone could help with an ID please? Thank you very much :)

    That looks like Parthenocissus quinquefolia aka Virginia Creeper

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    My first thought was Pathenocissus henryana but  not sure. Not enough leaflets??
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    Virginia Creeper, very vigorous when it gets going.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Thank you! I would like climbers on the fence eventually, but I don't think virginia creeper is the right plant for this space, so will take out.
