Born in Solihull, Hendrie was red carded on his debut for Aston Villa as a substitute in a 1–0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers on 23 December 1995.

[6][7][8] During Hendrie's time with Villa, he crashed his Porsche as he tried to make a plane for a European game and his manager Graham Taylor had to deal with other disciplinary matters.

[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.

[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.

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.

[24] Following the Blades unsuccessful play off campaign Hendrie was placed on the transfer list as the club sought to cut its wage bill.

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

Partly due to injury, Hendrie made just five starts for Derby before he moved to Brighton & Hove Albion on loan for the rest of the season on 23 March 2010.

"[32] On 1 January 2011 it was confirmed by Bradford manager Peter Taylor that Hendrie's deal would not be extended due to finances and that the player had in fact, left the club.

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 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.

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.

[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.

[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.

[54] Hendrie made a single appearance for the England B in April 1998, a 4-1 victory against Russia B a few months before the 1998 FIFA World Cup but was not selected for the final squad.

[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.

[65] Aside from his playing career Hendrie is also a director of FootieBugs,[66] a sister company of YogaBugs,[67] which provides football-based activities and events for children aged 2 to 7.
