Club career

Mesquita began his career with Lalenok United, winning the domestic treble in his first full year. [2] He also gained continental match experience via the 2020 AFC Cup against PSM Makassar the following year. [3]

Lalenok United managed to win a tournament organised by the East Timor Football Federation in late 2020 namely the 2020 Copa FFTL, after the regular season was cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. [4] Mesquita scored Lalenok's first goal and was man of the match in that final. [5] The team was scheduled to participate in the 2021 AFC Cup for the second time running, but the pandemic also caused the AFC to annul the matches of the group Lalenok was in. [6]

After finishing as runners-up to Karketu Dili in the league for the 2021 season, Lalenok United folded the next year. [7] Mesquita moved to Assalam FC for the 2023 season, finishing in sixth place.

After the season finished, Mesquita moved to Bruneian club Kota Ranger FC and scored twice on his debut in a dramatic match on 24 May where the Rangers led the game until the 90th minute in a 3–4 loss against Kasuka FC, the winning goal scored at the 10th minute of injury time. He finished the season with seven goals to his name.

Mesquita stayed in Brunei and joined Indera SC for the 2024–25 season. [8]
