Lee Hendrie was born in Birmingham May 18, 1977. He is an ex England international footballer who plays as a midfielder. Lee Hendrie made his debut for Aston Villa when they defeats Queens Park Rangers 1-0 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. On September 2005 he joined Stoke City on loan, on the recomendation of his father. On 30 January 2007, he extended his loan spell with the Potter until the end of the 2006-07 season. Whilst at Aston Villa he played in the 2000 FA Cup Final.

Hendrie signed a three-year contract with Sheffield United after arriving on a free transfer in July 2007, making his debut on the opening day of the season, a 2-2 home draw with Colchester United. He scored his first league goal for Sheffield United in a 2-1 win over QPR on 12 January 2008. 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, with a view to a permanent move. He scored the winning goal for Leicester in a 1-0 win over Scunthorpe United on 29 March 2008 but could not prevent the club's relegation to League One and he subsequently return to Bramall Lane. In November 2008 he joined Blackpool on loan initially until 1 January 2009, 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. Having returned to Bramall Lane once more he vowed to try and force his way into first team contention having given a wake up call by his time at Blackpool. 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 languange at referee Mike Dean.


On 1 September 2009, Hendrie joined Derby Country in a swap deal that involved Jordan Stewart moving in the opposite direction. Partly due to injury, Hendrie made just five stars for Derby before he moved to Brington and Hove Albion on loan for the rest of the season on 23 March 2010. It was announced on 13 May 2010, that he would leave Derby at the end of his contract after just 10 appearances from his nine month with the club.

Hendrie was set to join Scottish-side Aberdeen but deal fell through at last minute. Instead, he started training with Championship side Reading, but was not offered contract and was instead offered a shirt-term deal at his cousin John Hendrie's former club Bradford City by manager Peter Taylor. Taylor had previously managed Hendrie for England under-21s. Talking about his signing and the short-term deal, Hendrie said: "These next few weeks will be very interesting for me, and I will knuckle down. I have to use this to build up my fitness and get back to my peak. But on 1 January 2011 Lee Hendrie was no longer in Bradford City, and he have choosed the offer from Bandung FC, a club in Indonesian Premier League.


On 26 January 2011, Bandung announced the shock signing of Hendrie on a free transfer. Hendrie signed a two years contract with this Indonesian club. He is the first player with English Premier League experience to sign for Indonesian Premier League club. He is wearing the number 10 jersey. Upon signing Hendrie stated that "I am proud have the opportunity" in the Jakarta offices of the league. He made his debut on 5 February 2011 in a 1-0 dfeat against Persema Malang. He scored his first goal for Bandung FC on 12 February 2011 in 3-2 defeat against Batavia Union.
