Dejan Mezga (born 16 July 1985) is a Croatian football midfielder who plays for Polet. He has previously played for Čakovec, Maribor, Hajduk Split, Apollon Limassol, Nacional, Inter Zaprešić, and Varaždin. He received a Slovenian citizenship on 23 August 2012.[1]

Career

Coming from the village of Brezje, near Čakovec, in the region of Međimurje,[2] Mezga went through the ranks of several lower-tier local clubs, debuting at the age of 15 for the seniors of NK Sloga Čakovec,[3] before joining the U17 team of NK Varteks Varaždin. In his last season of eligibility for the U19 team, he left the club, however, and joined the Druga HNL side NK Čakovec, where he became a fixture for the following several seasons.[4]

In 2007, he joined the Slovenian PrvaLiga side Maribor. He soon established himself in the first team, and, after winning his first league title with the team, in 2009, won the fans' award "Vijoličasti bojevnik" (Purple Warrior) awarded to the most distinguished player of the past season.[5] Maribor went on to win four titles in the following five seasons, with Mezga featuring heavily in all campaigns, and was selected for the league's ideal eleven of the 2011–12 championship.[6]

After his contract expired in the summer of 2014, he joined Croatian side Hajduk Split.

He briefly returned to Maribor in August 2016, before signing for Nacional in January 2017.[7]
