Club career

Clemson

Bendik attended Clemson University for four years after graduating from Harrison High School in Kennesaw, Georgia.[1]

Sogndal

After university, Bendik signed with Norwegian club Sogndal. He began the 2010 season as a backup, and made his professional debut in the first round of the Norwegian Cup against Årdal FK.[2] Bendik ended the season starting in four league matches helping his club gain promotion to the Norwegian top flight.

Bendik began the 2011 season as the starter, and made his Tippeligaen debut on March 20, 2011 against Strømsgodset IF. [3] He ended the year starting the final two matches of the season, including a 2–1 victory over eventual league champions Molde FK.[4]

Portland Timbers

Toronto FC

On December 12, 2012 Bendik was acquired by Toronto FC along with Portland's third overall pick in the 2013 MLS SuperDraft in exchange for Ryan Johnson and Miloš Kocić.[7]

While originally considered a back-up, Bendik went on to make 33 appearances for Toronto during the 2013 season after starting goalkeeper Stefan Frei was injured during a pre-season friendly.[8]

On December 1, 2015, it was announced that Toronto FC had declined their options on Bendik, therefore he would not return to the team. Bendik will be eligible for the MLS Re-entry draft in early 2016. Along with Bendik, fellow goalkeeper Chris Konopka's options were also declined, leaving the team with only one goalkeeper; Quillain Roberts

Orlando City SC
