Sheffield United
Hendrie signed a three-year contract with Sheffield United after arriving on a free transfer in July 2007,[11][12] making his debut on the opening day of the season, a 2–2 home draw with Colchester United.[13] However, he was dogged by injuries for the first half of the season.[14][15] Hendrie scored his first goal for the Blades in a 5–0 win over Morecambe in the League Cup in September 2007,[16] but was unable to hold down a regular first-team place as the club struggled in the bottom half of the table. He scored his first league goal for Sheffield United in a 2–1 win over Queens Park Rangers on 12 January 2008.[17]
With the departure of Bryan Robson in February 2008, new manager Kevin Blackwell quickly allowed Hendrie to join Leicester City in an emergency loan deal,[18] with a view to a permanent move.[19] He scored the winning goal for Leicester in a 1–0 win over Scunthorpe United on 29 March 2008[20] but could not prevent the club's relegation to League One and he subsequently returned to Bramall Lane.
In November 2008 he joined Blackpool on loan initially until 1 January 2009,[21] making his debut as a second-half substitute the same day in the West Lancashire derby at home to Preston North End at Bloomfield Road. He was sent off for Blackpool versus Reading on 9 December 2008 and returned to Sheffield United on 31 December 2008 having made six appearances.[22]
Having returned to Bramall Lane once more he vowed to try to force his way into first team contention having been given a wake up call by his time at Blackpool.

Non-league football
Throughout the summer of 2011, Hendrie joined a number of clubs for training and on trial. He was linked with a move to Wrexham but any hopes of that materialising broke down with manager Dean Saunders' departure to Doncaster Rovers. In July he joined Corby Town on a month's trial, however after just three weeks he left on his own accord. In late August, Hendrie agreed to train with Hinckley United, staying with the club for a month and playing in one friendly match at the start of October. Later that month, he signed for Daventry Town until the end of the season. Hendrie was signed by Daventry Town manager Mark Kinsella who was one of his former teammates at Aston Villa.
He made his debut for the club on 15 October 2011 in an FA Cup Third qualifying round match against Nuneaton Town. He played his first league game in a 2–0 loss against Uxbridge three days later. Hendrie's first win as a Daventry Town player came on 22 October as Kidsgrove Athletic were beaten 4–3 in the First qualifying round of the FA Trophy.[34] Hendrie's younger brother, Stuart, joined him at Daventry on 21 October 2011, signing on a short-team loan deal from Hinckley United.[35]
On 9 November 2011 Hendrie was unveiled by
On 29 March 2012, Hendrie joined Southern League Premier club Redditch United, the club his father managed from 1991 to 1995, on a non-contract basis until the end of the season.[37] Hendrie joined his brother Stuart at Redditch, the latter once again on loan from parent club Hinckley United.[38]
Hendrie signed for Tamworth in the summer of 2012, taking the number 8 shirt; he made his debut for the club on 6 October 2012 as a 60th-minute substitute for George Baldock in a 2–1 home defeat to Newport County.[39] He announced his retirement from the game in May 2013 to focus on his work as a director at FootieBugs, a football activity programme company for young children.[40][41] He resumed his playing career in September 2013, joining Corby Town.[42]
Hendrie soon moved on from Corby and on 3 December 2013, he played for Highgate United in their away Midland Football Alliance fixture against A.F.C. Wulfrunians. Hendrie scored and provided an assist on his début for the club in a 3–1 win.[43] However, the club were quick to announce that Hendrie's appearance was only a "one-off" and that he had in fact signed for Nottinghamshire-based Basford United on 5 December.[44] He remained dual-registered for Highgate, allowing him to potentially play for the club again (subject to his availability). He made a second appearance for the club two weeks later,[45] on a night when Basford United did not have a fixture.[46]
Hendrie scored on his début for Basford against Armthorpe Welfare. In April 2014 Hendrie stated he was a victim of forgery and that someone had falsified transfer documents claiming he was moving to Tavistock.[47][48]
Hendrie left Basford United in October 2015.[49] He subsequently played for Montpellier (based in Badsey), and all-conquering Sunday league club Digby Rangers from Birmingham[50][51] before returning to Redditch United.[52] He then signed for Nuneaton Griff, before returning to Highgate United.[53]
International career
Despite his Scottish and Irish parentage, Hendrie represented England, the country of his birth, at international level. He appeared twelve times for the England under-21 team, scoring five goals.
He won his only full international cap for England at the age of 21 as a late substitute on 18 November 1998 against the Czech Republic.[56]
Media career
Hendrie now works as a pundit for Sky Sports.[57]
In 2019 and 2020, Hendrie featured in both seasons of ITV show Harry's Heroes, which featured former football manager Harry Redknapp attempting get a squad of former England international footballers back fit and healthy for a game against Germany legends. Hendrie gained extra praise for opening up on his struggles with mental health.[58][59]
For Season Two of the Apple TV series Ted Lasso, assistant director Sophie Worger hired former professional player Kasali Casal to manage the soccer choreography. Casal enlisted a team of former professional players to play for the opposition teams facing AFC Richmond during game scenes, these included Hendrie and fellow former Premier League players and Jay Bothroyd, Jermaine Pennant and George Elokobi.[60][61][62][63]
