Benjamin Mendy: Former Manchester City defender signs for Lorient
Former Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy has signed for Ligue 1 side Lorient five days after being cleared of rape.
The left-back, 29, whose City contract expired in the summer, has signed a two-year deal with the French club.
He was cleared of raping a woman and attempting to rape another at Chester Crown Court on Friday.
That followed a trial in January when Mendy was cleared of six counts of rape and one of sexual assault.
