Club career
Born in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, Mesca began his career at Sporting CP before joining Chelsea in May 2010.[3] He joined Chelsea's rivals Fulham on a one-year professional contract in September 2011 that ran until June 2012.[4] Mesca signed a new three-year contract with the club in April 2013.[2][5]
Ahead of the 2012-13 season, Mesca was included in the pre-season friendly with the first team to give a chance to impress.[6] He made his Premier League debut in Fulham's 2–0 defeat away to Chelsea on 21 September 2013.[7] After making his debut, Mesca says he was happy to make his debut despite his team was on the losing side and says that he is looking to play more games.[8]
On 28 November 2013, Mesca joined Crewe Alexandra on loan until 7 January 2014.[9] He scored his first senior goal against Carlisle United in a 2–1 win on 1 January 2014.[10] Five days later, Mesca loan spell with Crewe came to an end and returned to Fulham.[11] Despite this, Manager Steve Davis is making attempts to bring back Mesca, which nothing happens later on.[12]
