Club career[edit]

Hezze is a product of the Huracán youth system.[3][4] He made the breakthrough into first-team football in 2019–20, initially as an unused substitute for a Copa Sudamericana three-goal loss away to Atlético Nacional on 5 February 2020.[2][5][6] Hezze appeared for his senior debut just over a week later, as he played the full duration of a home loss to Aldosivi.[2] Four appearances followed in his first season, including an eventual bow in the Sudamericana in the second leg against Atlético Nacional on 19 February, which saw him assist Leandro Grimi's goal in a 1–1 draw.[2]

International career[edit]

In December 2019, Hezze received a call-up to train with the Argentina U23s.[7] He is also eligible to play for Poland.[8]

Personal life[edit]

Hezze is the nephew of former footballer Antonio Mohamed; his father, Julio, worked with Mohamed at Monterrey.[9][10] His grandmother was Polish. In January 2024, he obtained a Polish passport.[8]
