On 30 January 2013 Mendi signed with La Roda CF, in the third level.[4] In July he signed with Córdoba CF, being initially assigned to the reserves also in the third division.[5]
Mendi made his first-team debut on 30 November 2013, playing the entire second half and scoring his club's only of a 1–2 home loss against FC Barcelona B, for the Segunda División championship.[6] On 11 July of the following year he joined another reserve team, Sporting de Gijón B.[7]
Mendi made his debut for the Rojiblancos' first team on 26 October 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Miguel Ángel Guerrero in a 0–3 La Liga away loss against Athletic Bilbao.[8]
