Career

[edit | edit source]

Méndez began in the youth system of Andes Talleres in 2005, where he spent seven years, trialling at Boca Juniors in 2009, before joining the ranks of Argentinos Juniors in 2012.[2][3] He first appeared in the Argentinos first-team on 8 July 2017 for a Primera B Nacional match with Gimnasia y Esgrima, but he was an unused substitute.[1] On 12 July, Méndez made his professional debut in the same competition versus Nueva Chicago.[1] Another appearance followed in 2016–17 as Argentinos won the title and therefore promotion to the 2017–18 Primera División.[1][4] In January 2019, Méndez joined Talleres as part of a deal involving Carlos Quintana.[5]

International

[edit | edit source]

Méndez was called up to Argentina's squad for the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup in South Korea as an injury replacement for Ezequiel Barco.[1][6] However, he failed to feature in a match as Argentina were eliminated at the group stage.[1]
