Career
She joined the Gloucester-Hartpury young talent pathway at the age of 16 years-old, and made her debut for the club at the age of 18 years-old.[3] She had to be patient for further first team chances, but was a member of Hartpury University's Women's National League championship-winning teams in 2022 and 2023, part of the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) rugby competitions.[4]
Hendy impressed with her performances in the PWR UP series and she was moved to the starting place in the first-XV of Gloucester-Hartpury during the 2023-2024 season, and helped the team to the Premiership Women's Rugby title; scoring a try in a 36-20 win against Bristol Bears Women in the Premiership final, in June 2024.[5][6]
She started the final again the following year as Gloucester-Hartpury retained their title with a 34-19 win over Saracens Women in March 2025.[7][8]
