[7] Victory were crowned Women's A-League Champions on March 27, 2022, after beating Sydney FC in the Grand Final. [8]

On 21 July 2022, Reading announced the signing of Hendrix from Melbourne Victory on a two-year contract. [9] On 2 February 20204, Hendrix was appointed as club captain of Reading following the departure of Lily Woodham. [10]
