Club career

Kimberley

In preparation of the 2014-15 Torneo Argentino B, Kimberley de Mar del Plata announced that they would sign Sendra;[1] he left them some months later.

Geylang International

However, in Geylang's 5th game of the season, Sendra was handed his first start of the season. He finally completed his first competitive 90 minutes for the Eagles and injected much needed creativity in the final third in a 2–0 win over the Garena Young Lions.[5]

Perseru Serui

Sendra did not continue with Geylang and decided to accept a lucrative offer from Indonesian 1st tier team Perseru Serui. He only completed two months with the team and left after economic conditions were not satisfied by Perseru. As a consequence Ricardo could not sign for any other team in Indonesia and had to settle training with other players without a team for a few months until he accepted an offer to play again in Spain 3rd division team Inter Ibiza CD.
