Alfie Joshua Bendle (born 27 January 2005) is an English professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for EFL League Two club Colchester United.[3]

Career

AFC Wimbledon

Bendle, who had previously played youth football with Brighton and Hove Albion and spent time on loan with Corinthian-Casuals, signed a professional contract for AFC Wimbledon on his seventeenth birthday.[4][5]

Bendle made his professional debut in the final game of the 2021–22 EFL League One season at home at Plough Lane on 30 April 2022 against Accrington Stanley in a 4–3 defeat that confirmed Wimbledon's relegation to EFL League Two.[6]

The next season, Bendle came on in the 88th minute for Ethan Chislett against Gillingham on 30 July 2022.[7]

On 20 January 2023, it was announced that Bendle would join National League South club Eastbourne Borough on loan until the end of the season.[8] Bendle was recalled early from his loan, after making 11 appearances for Borough, due to an injury crisis at Wimbledon.[9]

Forest Green Rovers

Bendle signed for Forest Green Rovers in August 2023 for a free transfer, with Wimbledon inserting a sell-on clause into the deal.[10]

On 2 February 2024, Bendle joined hometown club Eastbourne Borough on an initial one-month loan, making this his second spell at the club.[11]

Colchester United

On 3 August 2024, Bendle returned to League Two following Forest Green Rovers' relegation, joining Colchester United on a one-year deal.[12]

On 26 October 2024, Bendle joined fellow Essex side Chelmsford City on loan.[13]
