Daniel Freire Mendes, (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈmẽdʒis], born 18 January 1981 in São Paulo) is a Brazilian football player who plays for Florida Tropics SC in the Major Arena Soccer League, after a long career in the Allsvenskan, the Swedish top league.

Career

He has previously played for AIK and Degerfors IF.

In 2006, Mendes scored most goals per minute played for AIK. All of his goals were scored as a substitute, earning him a reputation as the squad's "super sub".[1]

In 2014, Mendes left Sweden to go on loan with Minnesota United FC in the NASL. His stay was made permanent on October 9.[2] Mendes remained with Minnesota until their move to Major League Soccer following the 2016 NASL season.

Mendes joined the Major Arena Soccer League's Florida Tropics SC midway through their first season in early 2017.

After the arena season ended, Mendes stayed in Florida, signing with The Villages SC of the fourth-division Premier Development League.

In December 2017, Mendes agreed to a new deal with the Tropics and returned to the team's lineup.[3]
