On 29 April 2010, Jendrišek moved to Schalke 04 on a three-year contract.[6] On 19 January 2011, he left the club for fellow Bundesliga team SC Freiburg for €900,000.[7]

On 5 November 2018, he scored in a 1–0 away win against Asteras Tripoli, the club's fourth consecutive, after a low cross from Petar Đuričković.[16]

On 21 April 2019, he scored after five months and helped his team take a 2–0 home win against Apollon Smyrni to secure their spot in the top league.[17]

Volos

On 14 June 2019, Jendrišek agreed to join newly promoted side Volos on a two-year deal.[18] Four days later, the team officially announced his acquisition.[19] On 31 August 2019, he scored his first goal in a 1–0 home victory against Aris.[20] On 9 November 2019, he scored in a much-needed 3–2 home win against Panetolikos.[21]
