Jeffrey Patrick "Jeff" Hendrick (born 31 January 1992) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Premier League club Burnley and the Republic of Ireland national team.
Hendrick spent his early years with boyhood club St. Kevin's Boys in his native Dublin. He had a number of unsuccessful trials in England before joining Derby County's youth academy in 2008. Hendrick made his professional debut in April 2011 after impressive performances with the reserve team led manager Nigel Clough to include him in the senior setup. He quickly became a regular starter and appeared in the 2014 Championship play-off final where Derby missed out on promotion with a 1–0 loss to Queens Park Rangers. Hendrick amassed a total of 214 appearances for Derby over seven seasons. He joined newly promoted Premier League side Burnley in August 2016, signing a three-year deal.
Hendrick has represented Ireland at all youth levels. Since his senior international debut in 2013, he has made over 25 appearances for Ireland and represented them at UEFA Euro 2016.
Hendrick joined The Rams as a youth player from St Kevin's Boys in Dublin, having overcome Osgood-Schlatter disease, and played regularly for the club's academy side before breaking into the reserve team during the 2009–10 campaign. He made one start and seven substitute appearances as the club's reserve side successfully captured the 2009–10 Central League Central Section title. At the end of the season his first involvement with the Derby County first team came on 2 May 2010 as he was an unused substitute in a 2–0 victory over Cardiff City in the final game of the 2009–10 season. A few weeks later, on 8 July 2010, he signed his first professional contract, alongside four other Derby County academy graduates, including fellow Republic of Ireland Youth international Ryan Connolly.
