Over three season Badenhorst played 11 first-class and two List A matches primarily as a bowler for Central Districts before moving to play for Otago for the 2014–15 season.

He played club cricket for Albion Cricket Club in Dunedin and played for club sides in England.

An injury forced him to retire from top-level cricket and Badenhorst has since worked in the recruitment sector in Auckland.
