Club career

Hamilton Academical

Born in Glasgow where he attended St Andrew's Secondary School,[3] Hendrie began his career at Hamilton Academical. He made his club debut on 23 July 2011 in the Scottish Challenge Cup first round, replacing Derek Lyle after 60 minutes of an eventual 2–0 victory over Queen's Park at Hampden Park,[4] and his Scottish Football League debut two weeks later, starting a 2–1 win at Ayr United on the first day of the new First Division season.[5] At the end of the 2011–12 season, his first with the club's senior team, Hendrie described his year as a "dream."[6] Hendrie described the next season, the 2012–13 season, as "[not] my best season" due to injuries and subsequent lack of playing time.[7]

On 8 February 2014, he was sent off in the 50th minute of a 1–0 defeat at Dundee for a foul on Martin Boyle, with teammate Ziggy Gordon being dismissed later on.[8] He was also given a red card on 12 April, in a 1–1 draw away to Livingston.[9] Hamilton ended the season promoted from the Championship to the Scottish Premiership via the play-offs, and Hendrie made his top-flight debut on 9 August 2014, starting in a 0–2 home defeat to Inverness Caledonian Thistle on the opening day of the season.[10] He played 30 league matches throughout the season, and was sent off on 24 September in the League Cup third round, a goalless draw with Motherwell at New Douglas Park, although his team won the penalty shootout.[11]

West Ham United

In January 2015 he was linked with a transfer away from the club.[12] Later that month a transfer to English club West Ham United was discussed,[13] although it collapsed a day later.[14] A few days later the deal was announced as back on.[15] On 30 January 2015, Hendrie signed a pre-contract agreement to join West Ham on 1 July 2015.[16]

On 15 January 2016 Hendrie joined League One side Southend United on an initial 31-day loan to cover for injured, regular left-back Ben Coker.[17] [18] He made his Southend debut on 16 January in a 0–0 draw away against Peterborough United.
