Hendra began his career with Majra FC where he once scored from the halfway line seconds after the opposing team were celebrating an equalizer and failing to prepare for the restart.[2] He moved to QAF FC in 2009 where he won the Brunei Premier League in his first season with them.[3]
Hendra joined DPMM in 2012,[4] and broke into the first team the following year, scoring in the semi-final of the 2013 Singapore League Cup.[5]
By the 2019 season, Hendra became an integral part of the DPMM squad, starting in most matches as a deep-lying playmaker.[6] On 28 April in the home fixture against Hougang United FC, deep into injury time with the game poised at 2–2, Hendra floated in a 40-yard free-kick which bounced directly into the net to score the game-winning goal.[7] That goal became an important moment in DPMM's season as they became the league champions come September, overcoming Hougang's own title challenge.[8]
DPMM participated in the domestic FA Cupin2022, and Hendra was instrumental in the team's advancement all the way to the final on 4 December against Kasuka FC.[9] Hendra started in midfield and was victorious with a 2–1 win, bringing DPMM their second FA Cup triumph after last winning the competition in 2004.[10]
Hendra saw action for the Under-23s at the 2011 SEA GamesinIndonesia. He was selected for the Under-21s in the 2012 Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy a year later, playing in the final for the host's maiden success. Picked again for 2014 as an overage player, he started 3 games as Brunei narrowly failed to advance from the group stage.
After featuring for the DPMM first-team for the last few seasons Hendra was in line to be called up for international duty in June 2019, but declined the invitation to play for Brunei at the 2022 World Cup qualification.[13]
Hendra stayed as captain for the 6 September 2023 unofficial friendly against Sabah FC at the Track & Field Sports Complex, which ended in a 1–3 loss.[18] He did not travel to Hong Kong for the away friendly against the Hong Kong national football team five days later, which resulted in an acrimonious 10–0 drubbing by the home side.[19] In the following month, he led the Wasps for the 2026 World Cup qualification two-legged match against a daunting opponent in Indonesia.[20] Recognising the gulf in strength, Hendra jested that their opposition would "play a 1-1-8 formation" against his team, a comment that amused Indonesia's head coach, Shin Tae-yong.[21] He started in the first leg and also the second leg five days later in Brunei but suffered a 0–6 defeat in both matches, resulting in Brunei's elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[22]
