Flint Town United have strengthened their attacking options ahead of the new Cymru Premier League season with the signing of striker Lassana Mendes.

Last result: Cardiff MET 2-2 Flint Town United (2026-04-18).
Who is Lassana Mendes?
Mendes brings a wealth of Welsh top-flight experience to Flint Town United, having spent several seasons with Bala Town. The striker’s signing is part of manager Lee Fowler’s efforts to fine-tune his squad for the upcoming campaign, which kicks off with Flint looking to improve on their recent form (last 5: 0W-2D-3L).
What does this mean for Flint Town United?
The addition of Mendes bolsters Flint’s attacking options as they aim to bounce back from a challenging end to the previous season.
