After 56 appearances and 4 goals for Sevilla’s second team, the 29-year-old Argentine midfielder returned to familiar Chacarita Juniors in 2015.
There he managed to play 16 times (3 goals) in the Primera B, before leaving for Talleres in the summer of 2016, where he spent a great two years really showing his skills (31 appearances, 10 goals) in the Primera Division.
Independiente recognized his value and bought him in January 2018. Menendez was subsequently loaned out twice. For a semester at Al-Rayyan in Qatar and for another year at Talleres, where he again found more playing time.
In the summer of 2021 ‘Joni’ got his MLS experience, playing for Real Salt Lake in a ‘full-on’ first season.
Last season saw Jonathan Menendez return to his country again this time to play for Velez Sarsfield in the first half of the season and for Newell’s Old Boys in the second half of the season (17 games in total).”

I can’t wait to meet my new coach and teammates and start training.
I promise that I will work hard and help ARIS with all my strength to have a successful football year both in Greece and in Europe and to achieve our goals.
We’ll see you on the field for the rest…”
