Pogoń Szczecin Signs Benjamin Mendy to One-Year Deal With Option

The free agent moves to Poland to reboot a career stalled by injuries in Zurich.

Overview

  • The Ekstraklasa club confirmed Mendy’s arrival on a 12-month contract with an additional 12-month option after he left FC Zürich as a free agent.
  • Polish outlets had reported a two-year agreement and salary details, which were not corroborated in the club’s announcement.
  • Mendy said the atmosphere at Pogoń’s stadium and the passion of supporters influenced his decision to join.
  • His stint at FC Zürich was brief and injury-hit, with eight appearances and a muscle issue that ended his season before the clubs parted by mutual agreement.
