Career

Gamba Osaka

Meshino signed his first senior contract with Gamba Osaka ahead of the 2017 season and was handed the number 40 jersey.[6] He didn't feature at all in 2017, but Brazilian coach Levir Culpi handed him his J1 League debut in week six of the 2018 campaign, a 1-0 home defeat by Vissel Kobe.[7] He went on to make 11 appearances in J1 League that year as well as five in the J. League cup; where he scored in the 3-2 win away to Sanfrecce Hiroshima on 9 May, and one in the Emperor's Cup.[3][8]

While still officially a member of Gamba Osaka's youth team, Meshino started playing for Gamba U-23 in J3 League in 2016. He debuted on 13 March in a game against YSCC Yokohama and in total scored one goal in 13 appearances in 2016.[2][9] After being promoted to a senior contract in 2017, he began to play more regularly; scoring three times in 20 games in 2017. 2018 saw him become more of a regular member of Gamba's J1 league squad, however, he still managed to make 15 appearances in J3; scoring five times, including a double in Gamba's season-opening win over Grulla Morioka on March 11.[10]

Manchester City

On 9 August 2019, Premier League club Manchester City signed Meshino.[11] Later that month he was loaned to Scottish Premiership club Heart of Midlothian where he got relegated.[12]

Loan to Rio Ave

In September 2020, Meshino joined Primeira Liga club Rio Ave F.C. on a two year loan deal.[13]
