Josafat Wooding Mendes (born 31 December 2002), commonly known as Joe Mendes, is a Swedish footballer who plays as a defender for AIK in Allsvenskan.[1]

Early life[]

Born and raised in Stockholm, Mendes started to play football as a youngster for local club AFC United, before moving to AIK at age 12.[2][3] In 2020, he appeared in several friendlies for the club's first team, but did not feature in any competitive games.[4][5][6]

Club career[]

In 2021, Mendes joined Hammarby Talang FF in Ettan, Sweden's third division.[7] During the first half of the season, he scored once in 12 league appearances, whilst also providing six assists.[8]

On 19 July 2021, Mendes was promoted to their parent club Hammarby IF in Allsvenskan, the domestic first tier, signing a two-year deal.[9] He made his competitive debut only days later, on 22 July, coming on as a substitute in a 3–1 home win against Maribor in the UEFA Europa Conference League.[10][11]

Return to AIK[]

On 21 December 2021, it was announced that Mendes returned to his former club AIK, in an undisclosed deal between the two rival clubs. He signed a four year-contract with the Allsvenskan club, effective in January 2022.[12][13]

In 2018, Mendes won two caps for the Swedish U17 national team, playing in two friendlies against Belgium and Czech Republic.[1]
