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] He signed a new three-year contract with the club in April 2013.[2][5]

Ahead of the 2012–13 season, Mesca was included in a pre-season friendly squad with the first team.[6] He made his Premier League debut in Fulham's 2–0 defeat away to Chelsea on 21 September 2013.[7]

On 28 November 2013, Mesca joined Crewe Alexandra on loan until 7 January 2014.[8] He scored his first senior goal against Carlisle United in a 2–1 win on 1 January 2014,[9] and manager Steve Davis considered bringing him back to Gresty Road afterwards.[10]

After playing no part in the previous season for Fulham, Mesca left for AEL Limassol of the Cypriot First Division on 7 August 2015.[11] Five days later he made his debut, playing the entirety of the Cypriot Super Cup against APOEL FC, a penalty shootout victory after a goalless draw.[12]

On 11 June 2018, Mesca signed with Bulgarian club Beroe Stara Zagora.[13]

In August 2019, he joined Cypriot team Doxa Katokopias.[14]
