Tom Hendrickson

Born in New Zealand - with a Kiwi father and Cornish mother from Newlyn - he was five when he came to Cornwall and at age seven began playing for the Pirates minis.

His coaches were Martyn Bodilly and Russell Ahearne whose input helped him develop up to Under-16s level. He also played for St Just and Redruth, as well as being part of the Exeter Chiefs Academy set-up at Truro College.

A strong midfield runner, Hendrickson debuted for the Chiefs in November 2013, featuring in a LV= Cup win over Harlequins at Sandy Park.

Although Premiership appearances have so far eluded him, Hendrickson has featured for the Chiefs in both domestic and European Cup competitions, as well as in the annual Premiership 7s.

When not featuring for the Chiefs, Hendrickson has spent the past four seasons turning out for the Cornish Pirates in the Championship.
