Jesús David José Méndez (born 1 August 1984) is an Argentine football midfielder who currently plays for Independiente Rivadavia.

Career

Méndez made his league debut for River Plate in a 2–1 away win at Atlético Rafaela on 3 March 2004. In 2006 he had a loan spell with Olimpo, before joining St. Gallen of Switzerland in 2007. Méndez returned to Argentina in 2008 to play for Rosario Central.

In January 2010, he signed for Boca Juniors.[1] After two loan spells playing again for Rosario Central, the midfielder joined Independiente in 2014.

Méndez played two years in Mexico with Toluca, before returning to Argentina to play for Vélez Sarsfield in the second semester of the 2017–18 Argentine Primera División.

Thirty four year old Méndez announced his retirement at the beginning of 2019, after playing some games with Vélez.[2] However, a year later, at the beginning of 2020, Méndez returned to the pitch and joined Deportivo Maipú where he managed to play some games before the start of the quarantine and the suspension of all tournaments due to the COVID-19 pandemic. His contract at Maipú expired in June 2020 and he then joined Independiente Rivadavia a few months later.[3]
