Jacob Mendy has completed a permanent transfer from Wrexham AFC to Peterborough United, returning to London Road after his loan spell with the League One club ended and was immediately converted into a full deal. The move, recorded as a standard transfer, sees the 29-year-old left-back join Peterborough from the Welsh side following his brief return to Wrexham at the end of his loan.
The deal was finalised on 2026-02-02 and Mendy’s new contract with Peterborough United runs until 2026-06-30. He had formally gone back to Wrexham at the conclusion of his loan on 2026-02-01 before the clubs agreed the permanent switch the next day, ensuring continuity for both player and club as Peterborough strengthen their defensive options for the remainder of the 2025–26 campaign.
Mendy initially joined Peterborough on loan from Wrexham on 2025-09-01, moving from a Championship club into League One. His latest transfer maintains his status in the English game rather than a return to either of his home countries, The Gambia or Spain, and keeps him in a division where he had already been assessed with a market value of €150k as of late 2025.
Born on 27 Dec 1996 in Faji Kunda and standing 1.82 m tall, Mendy offers Peterborough a naturally left-footed defender whose main position is left-back. He will wear the number 40 shirt for the Posh, reinforcing a squad that is looking to build on its current campaign in the third tier of English football.
The move caps a steady rise through the English pyramid. Before his time at Wrexham, Mendy featured for Boreham Wood, Wealdstone, Carshalton Athletic and Redhill, having arrived in England after spells in Spain with Atlético Madrid C and CD Puerta Bonita. That path has taken him from Spanish lower tiers to non-league football and then into the EFL, culminating in this latest permanent move within the professional ranks.
Mendy’s transfer continues his association with Wrexham as a key staging post in his career. He first joined the Welsh club from Boreham Wood in 2022 and saw his market value peak at €250k in mid-2024 before later being set at €150k while on Peterborough’s books. The conversion from loan to permanent status underlines Peterborough United’s decision to retain him beyond a short-term arrangement and gives the left-back contractual security through to the summer of 2026.
With no contract end date listed at Wrexham beyond this move, the completion of his transfer to Peterborough also removes any immediate prospect of free agency, tying his future to the League One side for the duration of his current deal. How he performs over that period will determine his next step, whether that is earning a longer stay at London Road, attracting interest higher up the English ladder, or eventually exploring options back in The Gambia or Spain once this contract expires on 2026-06-30.
