Hendrick had been at Derby his entire professional career until his move to Burnley and had established himself as one of the best midfielders in the Championship.
The 24-year-old featured for the Republic of Ireland at the 2016 European Championship in France in the summer.
In four appearances for the Republic of Ireland at Euro 2016, the midfielder created three chances, had a pass accuracy of 77% and a shot accuracy of 50%, and won eight headers, two dribbles and two tackles, according to Squawka.com.
Burnley got promoted to the Premier League from the Championship at the end of last season.
Hendrick should prove to be a good signing for Clarets, who are one of the candidates to get relegated.
