David Mendes da Silva (born 11 October 1986 in Coimbra) is a Portuguese-born Cape Verdean footballer who plays for Songkhla United in Thai League 2 as a winger.
After spending the first three years of his career in his home country with Porto B and Tourizense, David Silva relocated to Bulgaria in June 2008, signing a three-year contract with Lokomotiv Mezdra. For Lokomotiv, Silva earned 15 appearances playing in the Bulgarian first division, scoring two goals.
He left Lokomotiv Mezdra in January 2009 for CSKA Sofia along with teammate Rui Miguel. Silva made first appearance as a CSKA Sofia player in the friendly match against FK Jagodina (4:1 win for CSKA Sofia) on 26 January 2009. He had a very good game, assisting the first goal in the match and scoring the second. He scored his first goal with a powerful long-range shot from about 25 metres (82 ft) in his first match for CSKA in the A PFG against Belasitsa 0:3 for CSKA Sofia. In January 2010, he was transferred to CD Castellón for the remainder of the season. On 23 June 2010, his contract with CSKA Sofia was terminated by mutual consent.
On 1 August 2010, Silva signed a two-year deal with Kilmarnock after impressing as a trialist in pre-season. Silva was Mixu Paatelainen's first signing as Kilmarnock manager.
