Pedro, the older Mendes brother by about five minutes, featured for the Silverbacks 33 times in 2012-13, scoring 12 goals — including 2013's NASL Goal of the Year. The Cal FC product also made a combined 13 appearances for Indy Eleven and Minnesota United in 2014. He rejoined the Silverbacks on July 8, 2015.
The 25-year-old forward — most remembered for his Goal of the Year-winning right-footed strike from 30 yards out against the Tampa Bay Rowdies — boasts a resume for scoring timely goals. Mendes joined the Silverbacks from the Rhode Island Reds of the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) midway through the 2012 season and injected pace and creativity into the Silverbacks lineup, scoring four goals in eight games. Mendes spent time with former Silverbacks technical director Eric Wynalda at Cal FC, an amateur club that dispatched a pair of professional teams to make it all the way to the fourth round of the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.
He reunited with his brother, Paulo, for the first time since they played alongside each other at Atlanta Silverbacks Park in 2012.
