Club career
Hennings started his career with local junior side VfL Oldesloe before signing for Hamburger SV in 2001. He progressed through the junior sides to be promoted to the first team in 2005. He featured mainly for the second side in the Regionalliga Nord, before joining 2. Bundesliga side VfL Osnabrück on a season-long loan in July 2007. He struggled to score goals for Osnabrück, only scoring 2 goals in 30 appearances as the club finished in mid-table. In the summer of 2008 he was again sent out on a season-long loan to 2. Bundesliga side FC St. Pauli. He again struggled for goals, only scoring twice in 21 appearances as the side finished in 8th position, however, St. Pauli made the move permanent at the end of the season in July 2009 for €200,000.
He spent three years at St. Pauli as a permanent player winning promotion to the Bundesliga in the 2009–10 season as the side finished runners-up in the 2. Bundesliga, with Hennings scoring 9 goals in 29 appearances. St. Pauli only lasted one season in the Bundesliga, finishing in last place and Hennings struggled to make an impact, only making 16 appearances. During the 2011–12 season back in the 2. Bundesliga, Hennings struggled to break into the first team and in January 2012 he was sent out on loan to former club VfL Osnabrück in the 3. Liga. He found some goalscoring form at Osnabrück scoring five in seventeen.
In June 2012, he signed for 3. Liga side Karlsruher SC for €50,000 and won promotion to 2. Bundesliga in his first season with the club as they finished as champions. Karlsruher made a good return to the second division finishing in 5th place as Hennings scored 10 goals in 31 appearances. In his final season with the club he finished as top scorer in the league with 17 goals as Karlsruher narrowly missed out on automatic promotion and finished in third position, qualifying for the play-offs. Hennings went on to score once more in the 3–2 aggregate play-off defeat to his former club Hamburger SV. He made a total of 102 appearances for Karlsruher scoring 37 goals.
In the summer of 2015 he was in high demand across Europe, being linked with a move back for former club Hamburger SV and also to SV Werder Bremen, whilst there was also an offer from Greek side PAOK FC, where Frank Arnesen was sporting director. In July 2015, Football League Championship side Sheffield Wednesday had a bid rejected for Hennings, but in August 2015 fellow Championship side Burnley signed him on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee. Hennings scored his first goal for the club in a 2-2 draw with Cardiff City on 28 November 2015.
Despite having made regular subustitute appearances during Burnley's Championship-winning campaign in 2015–16, he did not feature in the Premier League the following season. Instead, he was loaned out for the duration of the 2016–17 season, returning to his homeland to play for Fortuna Düsseldorf. Hennings made 30 appearances and scored nine goals as the club finished 11th in the 2. Bundesliga. On 7 July 2017, it was announed that he had returned to Düsseldorf on a permanent basis after being granted a free transfer by Burnley.
