Club Career

Naft Maysan

Mezher started his career at boyhood club Naft Maysan, where he came up the youth ranks before making his debut for the first-team in 2017 in the Iraqi Premier League.

Al-Shorta

In January 2020, after impressing for Naft Maysan in their league match against defending champions Al-Shorta as well as the Iraq U-23s at the 2020 AFC U-23 Championship, the league's defending champions signed Mezher on loan until the end of the season, alongside teammate Akram Raheem, ahead of the season restart and their 2020 AFC Champions League campaign. Mezher quickly established himself as a key player for Al-Shorta, filling the gaps left by national team stars Amjad Attwan and Safaa Hadi excellently as they headed to Kuwait and Russia, respectively, to join Kuwait SC Krylia Sovetov Samara, starting all three of Al-Shorta's league matches as well as both Champions League matches, impressing in all five before the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the end of the season, Al-Shorta made his loan deal permanent.
