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]

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
