Club career

[edit]

Portugal

[edit]

Born in Barreiro, Setúbal District of Angolan descent, Mendes spent the vast majority of his career in the Portuguese lower leagues. He joined Primeira Liga club Vitória F.C. as a 16-year-old, making his Primeira Liga debut with the first team on 6 November 2011 when he came on as a second-half substitute in a 0–0 home draw against Gil Vicente FC, being subsequently praised by manager Bruno Ribeiro.[1]

Mendes also had a brief spell in the Angolan Girabola, with C.R.D. Libolo.[2]

Romania

[edit]

On 16 June 2017, Mendes left C.D. Pinhalnovense and joined CSM Politehnica Iași from the Romanian Liga I.[3] He made his debut in the first league game of the season, against CS Universitatea Craiova.[4]

Returned to the country after a very brief spell in Latvia with FK Ventspils,[5] on 7 July 2019 Mendes signed a two-year contract with Liga II side FC Universitatea Cluj.[6] Two months later, however, he left by mutual consent.[7]

Hong Kong

[edit]

On 26 October 2020, it was confirmed that Mendes had signed with Hong Kong Premier League club Southern.[8] On 21 May 2021, Mendes left the club due to injury.
