Club Career

Real Madrid

Mejias was born in Madrid. In 2001, aged 12, he joined local Real Madrid's youth academy from neighbouring amateurs CD Coslada. He made his debut with the reserves in the 2007–08 season, playing five games for them in Segunda Division B.

As first-team manager Jose Mourinho decided to rest Iker Casillas, Mejias was selected for a La Liga home match against Getafe CF on 10 May 2011. He replaced another club youth graduate, Antonio Adan, for the last ten minutes of a 4–0 home win.

Mejias was selected in a 20-man squad for the first match of the 2011–12 campaign, away to Real Zaragoza, but eventually did not make the bench. He contributed 26 appearances in the following year, as the B's retained their Segunda Division status.

Middlesbrough

On 11 February 2014, Mejias joined Championship club Middlesbrough on loan until the end of the season. He made his debut on 1 March, in a 1–0 away loss against Sheffield Wednesday. It was his only appearance during the time of his loan, as he dislocated a finger in training and was sidelined for the rest of the campaign.

The deal was made permanent on 4 July 2014, and Mejias signed a two-year contract. On 28 October of the following year, he saved from Wayne Rooney and Ashley Young as his team won in a penalty shoot-out away to Manchester United in the fourth round of the League Cup, also keeping a clean sheet for 120 minutes.

On 5 January 2017, Mejias was loaned to Rayo Vallecano until the end of the Spanish second level season. At the end of the following campaign, he was released by Middlesbrough.

Omonia

Mejias signed for Cypriot First Division club AC Omonia on 10 July 2018. He played 29 matches across all competitions during his only season, where his team finished sixth in the domestic league.<
