Biography

Born in Dakar, Senegal, Mendy started his professional career in Italy. He was a member of Mantova's Primavera under-20 team in 2008–09 season. [2] He played his first professional game in the Serie B on 16 May 2009 against Empoli, coming off the bench in the 77th minute for Mattia Marchesetti. [3] He then remained in Primavera as an overage player. [4] After Mantova finished in 20th place, was relegated and suffered bankruptcy, Mendy was released.

Mendy was without a club for on season. It was due to FIGC allowed non-EU players to join youth teams if they joined Italy with reason other than football, they were not allowed to play as a professional player in Italy. [5] He trialled at Nocerina in July 2010. [6]

On 5 August 2011, he was signed by Serie A club Parma and left for Pro Vercelli along with Angelo Bencivenga. [7] However the deal collapsed. On 19 August he left for fellow top division club A.S. Roma for €150,000 on a one-year contract. On 26 August he was sold to Brussels on free transfer, along with Parma two weeks "teammate" Sulaiman Sesay Fullah, who was also unable to register in Italy. [8] The transaction also allowed Roma to fulfil the non-EU registration quota.

After one season at Brussels, he moved to newly promoted Waasland-Beveren. [9]
