Mendonça moved to Portugal in January 2000 at only 17, signing with Varzim S.C. in the second division, and scored ten goals in 30 games in his first full season, which led to top flight promotion in 2001. He appeared in 28 games in the following campaign (18 starts, two goals), with the Póvoa do Varzim outfit retaining its league status.
From 2003–07, after a brief loan, Mendonça appeared regularly for Varzim, with the club again in the second level. He returned to the main division in the 2007–08 season, but appeared in only 14 games for C.F. Os Belenenses and C.F. Estrela da Amadora combined, which prompted a return to his previous team, still in level two.
In the 2009 offseason, Mendonça returned to his country and signed with G.D. Interclube. The following year he joined C.D. Primeiro de Agosto, his first club as a senior.
Mendonça made his debut for Angola in 1999, before his 17th birthday. He was chosen the best player at the 2001 African U-20 Championship.
Mendonça was picked for the squad that appeared at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, a first-ever for the country. He played in all three group stage games (270 minutes) at the Palancas Negras managed two points. Additionally, he participated in two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.
