Benjamin Mendy makes his return to football by signing as new Ligue1 side Lorient player after he was found not guilty by Chester Crown Court.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Mendy signs until June 2025 as new Lorient left back.
Benjamin Mendy broke down in tears when he was declared a free man on Friday, July 14, 2023. after a jury cleared him of attempting to rape a woman aged 29 as she showered at his home in October 2018.
He was also found not guilty of raping a 24-year-old woman in his bedroom at his mansion in Prestbury, Cheshire, two years later.
Lorient, 10th behind champions Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 last season, said Mendy would start training from Wednesday after taking a medical.
