After losing his place in the Villa team during the 2005–06 season it seemed Hendrie's long spell at Villa Park was coming to an end, with Portsmouth
reportedly showing an interest in his services. On 29 September he joined Stoke City
on loan, on the recommendation of his father. On 30 January 2007, he extended his loan spell with the Potters until the end of the 2006–07 season. Whilst at Aston Villa he played in the 2000 FA Cup Final.
During Hendrie's time with Villa, he crashed his Porsche

. However, he was dogged by injuries for the first half of the season. Hendrie scored his first goal for the Blades in a 5–0 win over Morecambe

in September 2007, but was unable to hold down a regular first-team place as the club struggled in the bottom half of the table. He scored his first league goal for Sheffield United in a 2–1 win over QPR
on 12 January 2008.
With the departure of Bryan Robson

on 29 March 2008 but could not prevent the club's relegation to League One
and he subsequently returned to Bramall Lane

In November 2008 he joined on loan initially until 1 January 2009, making his debut as a second-half substitute the same day in the West Lancashire derby
at home to Preston North End
at Bloomfield Road
. He was sent off for Blackpool versus Reading
on 9 December 2008 and returned to Sheffield United on 31 December 2008 having made six appearances.

He made a number of further substitute appearances for The Blades up to the end of the season. Having been brought off the bench in the 85th minute of the play off final
against Burnley
at Wembley
he was subsequently sent off after the final whistle had blown for directing foul language at referee Mike Dean
.
Following the Blades unsuccessful play off campaign Hendrie was placed on the transfer list as the club sought to cut its wage bill.
in a swap deal that involved Jordan Stewart

's former club Bradford City
by manager Peter Taylor. Taylor had previously managed Hendrie for England under-21s. Talking about his signing and the short-term deal, Hendrie said: "These next few weeks will be very interesting for me, and I will knuckle down. I have to use this to build up my fitness and get back to my peak."
On 1 January 2011 it was confirmed by Bradford manager Peter Taylor that Hendrie's deal would not be extended due to finances and that the player had in fact, left the club. Taylor said "I feel really sorry for him. He has been a superb professional during his time at the football club. Lee's a great lad, he's still a great player. We have a League Two budget and we could only take this deal so far". Hendrie had played 14 times for The Bantams and had scored twice.
