Jeffrey Patrick "Jeff" Hendrick (born 31 January 1992) is an Irish footballer who plays as a midfielder for Football League Championship club Derby County and the Republic of Ireland national football team.
Hendrick joined The Rams as a youth player from St Kevins 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, making 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.
