Club career
On 2 June 2018, Mezghrani joined USM Alger from Waalwijk for three seasons.[2] But his stint with the club was short, and he left during the winter transfer window after playing only two games to return to Europe, where he joined Hungarian club Budapest Honvéd on a six-month contract with a two-year option.[3] In the first season he reached the Magyar Kupa final where they lost 1–2 against MOL Vidi. The following season, Mezghrani missed half of the campaign due to an injury. He played his first game of the season on 22 February 2020 against Puskás Akadémia. Mezghrani won his first title at the end of the season, the Magyar Kupa.[4]
On 3 January 2022, Mezghrani signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Puskás Akadémia.[5]
On 8 February 2024, after spending the winter training with Ekstraklasa club Warta Poznań, Mezghrani joined the Polish side on a free transfer, signing a deal until the end of the season with an option for another year.[6] After Warta suffered relegation to the I liga, Mezghrani's contract was not extended.[7]
On 29 August 2024, he signed a one-year deal with another I liga club Ruch Chorzów, reuniting with his former Warta manager Dawid Szulczek.[1] On 21 January 2025, he penned a new contract, tying him with the club until mid-2026 with an option for another year.[8]
