Club career
Menéndez was born in Gijón, Asturias. A product of Sporting de Gijón's prolific youth academy who started playing as a left winger,[1] he made his senior debut in the 2010–11 season, playing 21 games in the Segunda División B for the reserves,[2] who initially suffered relegation but were later reinstated.
Menéndez first appeared officially with the main squad on 13 December 2011, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 away win against RCD Mallorca in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey.[3] On 1 May of the following year he made his La Liga debut, again playing the entire match in a 2–3 home loss to Villarreal CF that all but signified the first team's relegation after a four-year stay.[4]
On 13 August 2013, Menéndez signed a new three-year deal with the club.[5] In summer 2014 he was definitely promoted to Sporting's first team, now in Segunda División.
Menéndez scored his first professional goal on 20 September 2015, the winner in a 3–2 away victory over Deportivo de La Coruña.[6] His second came two rounds later in another away fixture that ended in win, 2–1 at RCD Espanyol.[7]
On 30 July 2016, Menéndez signed a two-year contract with second-tier Girona FC, as a free agent.[8] On 8 August, however, after suffering a severe knee injury, he was released.[9]
On 13 July 2017, Menéndez agreed to a two-year deal at CF Reus Deportiu of the same league.[10] He first moved abroad in the summer of 2018, joining Aris Thessaloniki F.C. from Greece on a two-year contract.[11]
Menéndez returned to Spain on 31 January 2019, after signing a six-month loan deal with division two club Córdoba CF.[12]
