Former Manchester City left-back Benjamin Mendy has signed with Swiss club FC Zurich on a contract running until 2026.
The 30-year-old defender joins from French side Lorient, where he made 15 appearances before their relegation to Ligue 2.
His move follows a legal victory against Manchester City, which allowed him to recover withheld wages after his acquittal on rape charges.
FC Zurich, currently eighth in the Swiss Super League, secured Mendy’s services before the transfer window closes on February 17.
