Former Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy has signed a two-year deal with French club Lorient. The 29-year-old was cleared of rape and attempted rape at Chester Crown Court only five days ago.
Mendy, who progressed through Le Harve’s academy before establishing himself during three seasons at Marseille, joined City in 2017 for a reported fee of £52million after a solitary campaign with Monaco.’s side but his last appearance occurred during the opening game of the 2021-22 in defeat at Tottenham.
City suspended the French full-back, who was granted bail the following January but only after being charged with three more counts of rape. Benjamin Mendy hasn’t played a competitive game since Manchester City’s defeat at Tottenham in August 2021
