Mendy has signed a two-year deal with the French club just days after he was cleared of rape and attempted rape.

“Lorient are happy to announce today the signing on a two-year deal of the French international left-back Benjamin Mendy,” FC Lorient said in a statement.

The 29-year-old could also return to the UK on August 5 to face AFC Bournemouth in a friendly at the Vitality Stadium.

Lorient moved to sign the former Monaco and Marseille defender a month ago, according to Le Parisien.

Mendy was cleared of sex offences last week, ending a three-year court process.

The player had previously being cleared in January of six counts of rape and one of sexual assault following a six-month trial.

But jurors in that trial had been unable to reach a verdict on two other counts, triggering the retrial that ended last week.

Mendy, whose contract with English and European champions Man City expired at the end of June, had denied all the charges against him.
