After university, Bendik signed with Norwegian club Sogndal. He began the 2010 season as a backup, and made his professional debut in the first round of the Norwegian Cup against Årdal FK.[2] Bendik ended the season starting in four league matches helping his club gain promotion to the Norwegian top flight.
