Callum Hendry (born 8 December 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays for Scottish club Brechin City, on loan from St Johnstone, as a forward.

He began his career with Blackburn Rovers as a youth player before being released by the club in 2017 without making an appearance.

Early life

The son of former player Colin Hendry, he was born in Blackburn where his father played for Blackburn Rovers.[1][2] His mother Denise died in July 2009 after contracting meningitis due to long standing complications from a cosmetic surgery operation in 2002.[2][3]

Career

Early career

With his father playing for the club, Hendry joined the youth system at Blackburn Rovers. He progressed through the academy, taking a year off from football at the age of 12 following the death of his mother, before being sent out on loan to Clitheroe in 2015.[2] Hendry was offered to the club by Blackburn's academy manager Eric Kinder in order to "test Callum as a footballer in the men's game".[4]

He made his debut for the Blues in a 3–1 victory over Kendal Town, scoring twice.[5] His loan spell was extended for a further month on 10 October 2015 but,[6] having scored six times for the club during his loan spell, Hendry suffered ruptured ligaments in his knee during a 2–0 victory over Mossley and was ruled out for over six months.[7] He had previously suffered a similar injury at the age of 15.[2] After returning to Blackburn, Hendry was released by the club at the end of the 2016–17 season.[8]

St Johnstone

Following his release, Hendry joined Scottish Premiership club St Johnstone and made his debut for the club as a substitute in place of Steven MacLean during a 4–1 victory over Motherwell on 12 August 2017.[9]

He moved on loan to Brechin City in August 2018.[10]
