The Chester Chronicle have him down as a midfielder from his time at Airbus. Can't find anything else about him online as to how old he is, what his record is like etc.

The first result in a google search for "Paulo Mendes Redditch" brings up our website...

Sounds like a signing Hodgy would have made - being foreign then he must be good lol

That was exactly my first thought when I saw it - although this guy does seem to have done the rounds in the non-league scene over the last few seasons, albeit there's no record of what he's actually done!

Maybe he's a winger, we could do with a few more of those.

Tall and gangly so probably a replacement for Beck.

So we already have a winger who thinks he is a striker, maybe we have now signed a striker who thinks he is a winger?

I heard his natural position is right back but he heard he was a striker who is better on the wing.

I've heard he reckons all non-league games should have goal-line technology - big bugbear of his apparently - and loves his cider. Won't drink Thatcher's though.

I've heard that he has many opinions on onions which he cutely refers to as his 'Opinionions' and that his friends refuse to go to the chippy with him due to his insistence on ordering Hake, which has to be fried to order and always results in a large queue forming behind him.

I've read that we have another overseas player due to arrive next week, according to the Echo. What's with this sudden influx of players, we haven't seen many leave yet?

Scraping the bottom now? ;)

Does this player actually exist then? Or is he just a figment of our imagination?

Or maybe he was so bad we've just repressed him, like I've been trying to do with Ashlee Jones for years.

He was warming up at Curzon, but I didn’t see him yesterday, probably the last we’ll see of him.

Ashlee Jones must have made a big impression. Didn't he only play for us once? Was he that bad?!!

Yep, Notts County away 4-0 loss.

I've never seen anything like it in professional sports. Made David Knight look like Iker Casillas.
