Early life

Born and raised in Stockholm, Mendes started to play football as a youngster for local club AFC United, before moving to AIK at age 12.[2][3] In 2020, he appeared in several friendlies for the club's first team, but did not feature in any competitive games.[4][5][6]

Return to AIK

On 21 December 2021, it was announced that Mendes returned to his former club AIK, in an undisclosed deal between the two rival clubs. He signed a four year-contract with the Allsvenskan club, effective in January 2022.[12][13]

S.C. Braga

On 28 January 2023, Portuguese side Braga announced the signing of Mendes on a five-and-a-half year long contract.[14]
