During the 2012–13 season he had his first Bundesliga appearance when Eintracht played Bayern Munich at home when he was substituted for Marco Russ in the 71st minute. Stendera had the assist in Frankfurt's 1–0 (Russ) win against Schalke 04 on 21 April 2013, his first start in the Bundesliga.[2]

Stendera amassed 56 appearances and scored 5 goals for Eintracht throughout the 2014–15 and 2015–16 seasons, but a series of injuries limited his first-team action during his three last years at the club. He was released from his contract on 2 September 2019 and joined Hannover 96 on the following day.[3][4]

On 28 December 2022, Stendera agreed to join 3. Liga club VfB Oldenburg on a contract from 2 January 2023.[5]

In June 2023, Stendera signed a two-year contract with SKN St. Pölten in Austria.[6]
