Playing career

Bender arrived in Israel and first trialled with Hapoel Tel Aviv. Due to his being Jewish, he was able to trial with the club since he would not count as a foreigner.[1] Bender was passed on by Hapoel and decided to try to join other Israeli clubs.

After trialling with Ironi Nir Ramat HaSharon and playing a Toto Cup match with the club, Bender ended up signing with Hakoah Amidar/Ramat Gan.[2] Despite impressing early in the season, Bender started to establish a poor reputation when he was fined for not taking training seriously.[3] Just three months after joining the club, he was released by Hakoah due to his behavioral issues.[4] After being released, he trialled at Maccabi Netanya. Then manager, Lothar Matthäus, was impressed by Bender but decided not to sign him.[5]
