Hide AdSpeaking after an international break which saw Ireland draw two and narrowly lose to a Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired Portugal, Hendrick said:
"I'm not getting any younger but I still feel I have a good few years left in me.
"I'm only 29 and we have seen players play on until their 30's and mid-30's in the past.
"I can't see why I can't do that. Hopefully I can be in and around the squad for a good few more years to come."
