Mendy suffered a hamstring injury that ruled him out of action towards the end of March. He then underwent surgery over the summer and is now slowly regaining fitness to make a comeback to the Wrexham first team. Along with the Gambian, Paul Mullin is also back in training after he underwent a minor spinal surgery.

The 27-year-old left-back was an integral part of Phil Parkinson's squad last season as they finished runners-up in League Two to secure back-to-back promotions. He appeared in 36 matches across all competitions scoring twice and providing five assists.
