The much-travelled 32-year-old has made 17 appearances for the Shots, scoring four times in a year at the Rec.

Stevenage manager Graham Westley told BBC Three Counties Radio: "I need cover and Junior gives us the ability to cover in wide area’s, or up top."

"He is a talented boy, and very lively," Westley added.

Mendes goes into the squad for Saturday’s game with Blue Square Premier play-off rivals Oxford.

The London-born striker has twice represented Montserrat the 2004 Concacaf Gold Cup qualifying games.

He has also played at a number of Football League clubs including Huddersfield, Northampton and Notts County and has played for St Mirren in Scotland twice.

It’s a huge first for the tiny island nation of Montserrat as the 24 year old Lionel Baker made history by being the first citizen of the country to debut for the West Indies. Baker made the most of his debut by grabbing 3/27 in his opening spell. Even though the West Indies would eventually go down by four wickets in the match, Baker was quoted as saying:

"It was a very proud moment for me when I put on the shirt for the first time and being the first player from my country made it quite special. I just knew I had to go out and do the job to the best of my ability"
