Career

Dundee-born Benedictus made his début for Dundee on 1 November 2008 against Airdrie United at Dens Park, playing the full match.[1] He later signed a contract extension after breaking into the first team.[2]

On 28 January 2011 he joined Montrose on loan for a month.[3]

On 1 September 2014, Benedictus signed for Scottish Championship club Alloa Athletic on a season-long loan deal.[4] At the end of the season Alloa finished second bottom of the 2014–15 Scottish Championship meaning they faced play-offs to avoid relegation. Having not scored all season Benedictus scored twice in the play-offs and Alloa survived.[5][6][7]

On 10 June 2015 it was confirmed that Benedictus had signed for Raith Rovers.[8]
