António Manuel Fernandes Mendes (born 23 October 1992), known as Tomané, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Liga Portugal 2 club Tondela.
Club career Vitória Guimarães Tomané was born in Fafe, Braga District. On 16 August 2010, while still a junior at Vitória de Guimarães (he arrived at the club's youth system at the age of 13), he made his professional – and Primeira Liga – debut, taking the pitch in the 67th minute of a 0–0 away draw against S.C. Olhanense; it would be his only appearance of the season.
For the 2011–12 campaign, Tomané was loaned to A.D. Os Limianos in the third division. After returning, he alternated between the first team and the reserves, never scoring more than four league goals for the former during his spell.
On 27 January 2016, Tomané signed a five-month loan with MSV Duisburg. His first match in the 2. Bundesliga occurred on 8 February, as he played 85 minutes in a 2–1 loss at Arminia Bielefeld.
Panetolikos On 15 June 2016, Tomané joined Super League Greece club Panetolikos F.C. on a three-year contract. He scored his only goal for them on 15 October, helping the hosts to defeat PAE Kerkyra 4–0 by netting shortly after kick-off.
Return to Portugal Tomané returned to his country and its top division on 30 December 2016, agreeing to a deal at F.C. Arouca until June 2019. In the ensuing off-season, however, following his team's relegation, he moved to C.D. Tondela.
As his side avoided relegation in the last matchday of the 2018–19 season, Tomané helped with a career-best 12 goals (14 in all competitions).
Red Star On 2 July 2019, Tomané signed for Serbian club Red Star Belgrade. He scored five times in his debut campaign to win the SuperLiga, his first goal coming on 17 August in a 3–2 away win over FK Spartak Subotica.
Later career Tomané changed teams and countries again in summer 2020, on a three-year contract at Samsunspor of the Turkish TFF First League. He won promotion to the Süper Lig in 2022–23, but featured sparingly in the process; he dealt with several injury problems during his tenure.
On 28 June 2023, Tomané signed for APOEL FC.
International career Tomané earned four caps for the Portugal under-21 team in slightly less than two years. His first arrived on 15 October 2012, as he played the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 friendly home loss to Ukraine.
