Club career

Born in Telde, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands,[1] Mesa was a product of Levante UD's youth system, and made his senior debut with the reserves in the 2007–08 season, in Tercera División. He left the club in the middle of 2009, and signed for AD Huracán.[2]

On 26 January 2010, Mesa joined CD Tenerife B from Segunda División B.[3] Six months later he signed with another reserve team, UD Las Palmas B in the fourth level, being promoted to the main squad the following year.[4]

On 8 October 2011, Mesa appeared in his first game as a professional, starting in a 2–1 away win against Celta de Vigo for the Segunda División championship.[5] He finished the campaign with 22 appearances (ten starts, 947 minutes of action) and, on 31 August of the following year, he was loaned to CD Atlético Baleares in the third division.[6]

Subsequently, Mesa returned to Las Palmas with its B-side, freshly promoted to the third tier. On 28 November 2013 he signed a new four-year deal, running until 2017,[7] and was definitely promoted to the first team in July of the following year.[8]

Mesa scored his first professional goal on 1 November 2014, netting his team's second in a 2–1 home success over Albacete Balompié.[9] He appeared in 35 matches and scored four goals during the season, which ended in promotion to La Liga after a 13-year absence.

Mesa made his debut in the Spanish top flight on 22 August 2015, in a 0–1 loss at Atlético Madrid.[10] On 23 September he scored his first goal in the category, netting the first in a 2–0 home win against Sevilla FC.[11]
