Méndez started his playing career in 2007 with
Racing Club, in which he had been playing in the youth teams. However, he couldn't establish himself as a regular first team player and could only play 5 matches coming in as a substitute. In 2009, he joined Ecuadorian side
Olmedo, in which he played 28 matches and scored 7 goals. After 6 months in Olmedo, he joined
Deportivo Cuenca, in which he played 21 matches, scoring 6 goals, 3 of them in
2010 Copa Libertadores (2 against
Banfield, his future club, and 1 against
Monarcas Morelia). In July 2010, Méndez joined Banfield on a 1-year loan. On 18 October 2019, Méndez agreed to a one-year deal with Hong Kong club
Pegasus. He left the club on 17 December 2019, claiming that he could not adapt to the football environment of Hong Kong. However, only 2 weeks later on 1 January 2020, Méndez signed for another
Hong Kong Premier League club,
Southern. His time with Southern ended on 20 April when he agreed to an early termination with the club due to financial difficulties caused by the
2020 coronavirus pandemic. In November 2020, Méndez returned to Ecuador and signed with his former club,
LDU Portoviejo. The season ended with relegation to the
Ecuadorian Serie B. Méndez left LDU in June 2021, due to lack of playing time. In August 2021, he signed a short-term contract with
C.D. Olmedo. In November 2021, it was reported - however, not officially - that he had left Olmedo, before he had even played for the club. ==References==
