Although he now plies his trade in the third tier, Mendez-Laing boasts vast experience of the Championship and has also played in the Premier League for Cardiff City. He is no stranger to Yorkshire either, having represented both Sheffield clubs and Middlesbrough.
He secured promotion from the second tier in 2018 with Cardiff and was a key figure for Neil Warnock’s Bluebirds side. Mendez-Laing joined Derby from Sheffield Wednesday, who had attempted to retain the winger.
However, he turned down the offer of a new deal and instead made the move to Derby. He joined the club alongside goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith, who had also turned down a contract offer at Hillsborough.
The winger has made a total of 76 appearances for the Rams, scoring 14 goals and providing 21 assists.
