Arnaud Mendy

Born Evreux, France. A 6 foot 3 inch midfielder, Arnaud started his football career at Rouen where as a 17 year old he impressed in his 12 appearances with 3 goals. Derby County saw his potential and signed him but he could not break through to the first team. After two loans he joined Macclesfield Town in 2011. The first season saw 33 appearances and 3 goals with the same consistency shown at the start of the following season when the Hatters stepped in.

Arnaud joined on loan in October 2012 and the move was made permanent in January 2013. He made 28 appearances for the Hatters including the famous F.A. Cup win at top flight Norwich City. An undisclosed discipline issue saw manager John Still transfer list him saying he would never play for the club again. He did play one more game in November 2013 away to Staines Town in the F.A. Trophy but left after Christmas.

Spells followed with Lincoln City, Whitehawk, Hemel Hempstead Town, a club in Malta, back to Whitehawk and finally Welling United. Arnaud won two international caps for Guinea-Bissau.
