Playing career

[edit]

Club

[edit]

Mekki spent his youth at the Reading academy, before switching to Aldershot Town in 2006. He signed a professional contract with the club in the summer of 2009. In January 2011 he was loaned out to Southern Football League Premier Division side Oxford City, scoring two goals in six appearances. He made his Aldershot debut on 12 February 2011, replacing Jermaine McGlashan 81 minutes into a goalless draw at the Recreation Ground.[2] He made his second appearance on 8 March, playing 45 minutes of a 1–0 win over Torquay United after replacing Albert Jarrett at half-time.[3] On 26 April, it was announced that he had signed a two-year contract extension with the club.[4] Mekki left Aldershot on 17 June 2014 after failing to agree terms on a new deal.[5]

Mekki joined Barnet on a short-term deal on 12 August 2014.[6] He made his debut when he started a home game against Dartford on 25 August.[7] After eleven appearances in all competitions, without scoring, Mekki was released by Barnet to find first-team football elsewhere. He was not paid a wage during his time at the club.[8]

Mekki signed for Dover Athletic on 15 January 2015 until the end of the season.[9]

After leaving Dover, Mekki had a trial with Tranmere Rovers, in which he scored in a pre-season friendly against Shrewsbury Town. The trial was successful, and Mekki signed a six-month contract with the club.[10] Following a successful season, Mekki signed a new one-year deal with Tranmere, with the option for a further 12 months.[11]

At the end of the 2016–2017 season, Mekki was released by Tranmere and signed for National League rivals Bromley.[12]

On 7 June 2017, Mekki signed for Bromley.[13]

Having been defeated in the National League South play-off final for Ebbsfleet United, Mekki joined winning finalists Dorking Wanderers in June 2022.[14] In February 2023, he joined Bath City on a one-month loan deal.[15]

On 29 May 2023, Mekki returned to the National League South to join Farnborough following his release from Dorking.[16] In December 2023, he joined Bracknell Town on loan.[17]

In July 2024, Mekki joined Southern League Premier Division South club Walton & Hersham.[18]
