Embattled Manchester City defender, Benjamin Mendy has reportedly made a quick return back to football barely five days after being cleared of rape and attempted rape with him joining French club Lorient.

Mendy was accused of carrying out sex attacks on two women at his £4million mansion, only to be cleared after three hours of deliberation by a jury at Chester Crown Court last Friday.

The 28-year-old Frenchman had already been cleared of six counts of rape and one count of sexual assault after a court case in January, yet faced a retrial on one count of rape and one count of attempted rape during lockdown-busting parties.

And five days after being cleared as a free man, Mendy has already returned to football after signing with Lorient.

In a club statement on Wednesday, the Ligue 1 outfit confirmed is due to arrive at their training ground on Wednesday after putting pen to paper on a two-year contract. Mendy will wear the No 5 shirt for Lorient.

Mendy, who last played for City back in August 2021, officially left the Premier League champions when his contract expired earlier this month. Lorient were therefore able to sign him on a free transfer.

Mendy wept when he was cleared last week, with his lawyers saying he will now go on to 'rebuild his life'.

The emotional star declined to comment outside court only to say: 'Alhamdulillah,' an Arabic phrase meaning: 'Praise be to God'.

Mendy made 75 appearances for City from 2017 up until his final appearance in August 2021, winning three Premier League titles and two League Cups.

He previously played in France for Monaco, Marseille, and Le Havre. He is set to reignite his football career back in his home country with Lorient, who finished 10th in Ligue 1 last season.

Get married dude, there's no award in testing hundreds of women

Jjj

If you like go find their gals cause ur prick no dey stay wan place

Why some matured rich men refuse to marry but put themselves in situations that lead to trouble is something I can't just understand. Michael Jackson, R Kelly, Benjamine Mendy and so many others could have afforded any woman without getting into any problem but the reverse was the case

Most of these black french guys bear christian names but are Muslims. Benjamin Mendy, Paul Pogba etc interesting.


But some girls are dangerous sha. They will just look for some stupid reasons and accuse celebrities of rape and thereby destabilizing their careers.
