Hendricks played 12 test matches for South Africa, the last in 2015 before a heart condition sidelined the player.
Hendricks’ contract extension will see him join the likes of 37-year-old Gio Aplon who joined the Bulls from Montpellier and wing Travis Ismaiel returned to Pretoria from England Premiership club Harlequins as the new backline for the Pretoria side.
Thus far, World Cup-winning Springbok Warrick Gelant, BlitzBok Dylan Sage and utility back Manni Libbok were released from their Bulls contracts.
While there have been reports that BlitzBoks superstar Rosko Specman is heading to the Cheetahs.
