Hendricks made his Test debut in 2014 and went on to earn 12 caps for the Springboks, scoring five tries.
In 2016, Hendricks signed a two-year deal with Western Province and the Stormers before being diagnosed with a serious heart condition that prevented him from playing.
In 2019, Hendricks’ improved health saw him make a comeback with the Bulls, where he earned 115 caps and scored 34 tries across all competitions during a five-year stay.
The Blue Bulls have expressed their condolences to his family.
