Jean-Philippe Mendy (born 4 March 1987) is a French footballer of Senegalese descent who plays for Baniyas SC in the Arabian Gulf League . Initially a midfielder, he was later in his career moved forward.
Mendy started playing football, aged 6, at OSC Élancourt, before moving, aged 12, to FC Versailles, and at some point after, to Football Croix-de-Savoie 74, now known as Evian Thonon Gaillard F.C. Aged 14, he spent some time at Clairefontaine.
In the summer of 2006, he played a single friendly match for the Swiss third-tier side CS Chênois, a 5–0 loss against the Romanian giants Dinamo Bucureşti. Despite the loss, he was noticed by Dinamo's coach Mircea Rednic, and brought to the Romanian club. Despite never officially being a CS Chênois player, he was erroneously presented as such by the Romanian media.
He made his debut for the Bucharest club on 11 November 2006, coming in the 83rd minute for Claudiu Niculescu, in a 3–0 home win against FC Oțelul Galați. His UEFA Cup debut was on 14 December 2006, after he came in for Ionel Dănciulescu in the 77th minute of the 3–1 away loss vs. Tottenham Hotspur and scored, in the 91st minute, what would prove to be his first and only goal for Dinamo's senior team.
