Jesús Alexander Mendieta Rojas (born 11 April 1998) is a Peruvian footballer who plays as a left-back for Peruvian Primera División side Alianza Universidad.
Club career
Mendieta started in football by participating in inter-neighborhood tournaments in the Chorrillos District, later going to an academy called "Todos Juntos" where he began his training. He then joined Atletico Minero, a football club based in Matucana, with which he participated in the Copa Federación, a tournament for youths organized by the Peruvian Football Federation.[2]
In 2016, Mendieta was promoted to Sporting Cristal's reserve team and one year later - in 2017 - to the first team.[3] However, he was not able to get his debut and he was then loaned out to Alianza Atlético on 24 August 2017 for the rest of the year.[4] He made 10 appearances for the club.
In the summer 2018, he joined Ayacucho FC on loan.[5] The loan deal was later extended for the 2019 season as well.[6] Mendieta's contract with Sporting Cristal expired at the end of 2019 and he then joined Ayacucho on permanent basis.[7]
Ahead of the 2023 season, Mendieta moved to his former club, Alianza Atlético; a club he formerly played for on loan in the 2017 season.[8] Ahead of the 2025 season, he then moved to newly promoted Peruvian Primera División side Alianza Universidad.[9]
