Playing career

Club career

Aston Villa

Born in Birmingham, Hendrie made his debut for Aston Villa as a substitute in a 1-0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers on 23 December 1995 and went on to achieve the accolade of the club's "Young Player of the Season" award in the 1997–98 season.

After losing his place in the Villa team during the 2005–06 season it seemed Hendrie's long spell at Villa Park was coming to an end, with Portsmouth reportedly showing an interest in his services. On 29 September he joined Stoke City on loan, on the recommendation of his father.[1][2] On 30 January 2007, he extended his loan spell with the Potters until the end of the 2006–07 season.[3] Whilst at Aston Villa he played in the 2000 FA Cup Final.

Sheffield United

Hendrie signed a three-year contract with Sheffield United after arriving on a free transfer in July 2007,[4][5] making his debut on the opening day of the season, a 2-2 home draw with Colchester United.[6] However, he was dogged by injuries for the first half of the season.[7][8] Hendrie scored his first goal for the Blades in a 5-0 win over Morecambe in the League Cup in September 2007,[9] 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 QPR on 12 January 2008.[10]

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,[11] with a view to a permanent move.[12] He scored the winning goal for Leicester in a 1-0 win over Scunthorpe United on 29 March 2008[13] 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,[14] 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.[15]

Having returned to Bramall Lane once more he vowed to try and force his way into first team contention having been given a wake up call by his time at Blackpool.[16] He made a number of further substitute appearances for The Blades up to the end of the season. Having been brought off the bench in the 85th minute of the play off final against Burnley at Wembley he was subsequently sent off after the final whistle had blown for directing foul language at referee Mike Dean.[17]

Following the Blades unsuccessful play off campaign Hendrie was placed on the transfer list as the club sought to cut it's wage bill.[18]

Derby County

On 1st September 2009, Hendrie joined Derby County in a swap deal that involved Jordan Stewart moving in the opposite direction.

International career

Hendrie made a total of twelve appearances for the England under-21 team, scoring five goals.[19] He won his only full international cap for England on 18 November 1998 against the Czech Republic in a 2-0 win, coming on in the 77th minute for Aston Villa team-mate Paul Merson.

Personal life

Hendrie was born to former Scottish professional footballer Paul Hendrie. He is the cousin of another footballer, John Hendrie.
