Mendy joined Derby as an academy player in the close season of 2008, and played for the academy and reserve sides in his first season. He made his first team debut in a pre-season friendly against Stoke City on 1 August 2009, coming on as a substitute four minutes from time and scoring a last minute equaliser for Derby in a 2–2 draw. His competitive debut was in a 3–0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday on 3 October 2009. Two weeks later Mendy joined Grimsby Town on an initial one month loan.[1] He made his debut on 17 October 2009 against Rochdale. This game was to be Mendy's only as a Grimsby player, manager Mike Newell was sacked the following morning, and the following week caretaker manager Neil Woods left him out of the eighteen man squad to face A.F.C. Bournemouth. On 29 October, Mendy and fellow loanee Josh Magennis had their loan contracts terminated ahead of schedule.[2] He was due to join Rotherham United on loan until the end of the 2009/10 season on 26 March 2010 but the deal was not completed in time.[3] Mendy stayed at Derby and featured regularly for the reserves side which won the Central League Championship for the 2009/10 season.
Mendy was given the squad number 24 ahead of the 2010/11 season, but moved to Tranmere Rovers on a month's loan on 31 August 2010.[4] He made his debut in a Football League Trophy match against Accrington Stanley[5] before making his first league start in a 1–0 win over Peterborough United, where he scored the winning goal, converting from close range for the first goal of his career and earning Rovers their first win of the season.[6]
He returned to Derby at the end of his three month loan spell and featured in reserves fixtures for the remainder of his time at the club.[7] Having failed to break into Derby's first team it was announced by the club in May 2011 that Mendy would not be retained past completion of his contract in June 2011.[8]
On 11 July 2011, Mendy joined League Two outfit Macclesfield Town on a one-year contract.[9]
