Biography
Born in Dakar, Senegal, Mendy started his professional career in Italy. He was a member of A.C. Mantova's Primavera under-20 team in 2008–09 season.[2] He played his first professional game in the Serie B on 9 May 2009 against Modena.[3] He also played in the next round.[4] He then remained in Primavera (literally, Spring) as an overage player.[5] 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 (family union, education, etc.), they were not allowed to play as a professional player in Italy (age above 20).[6] He trialled at Nocerina in July 2010.[7]
On 5 August 2011, he was signed by Serie A club Parma and left for Pro Vercelli along with Angelo Bencivenga.[8] 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.[9] The transaction also allowed Roma to fulfil the non-EU registration quota.
After one season at Brussels, he moved to newly promoted Waasland-Beveren.[10]
