Club career[]

Portugal[]

Born in Maputo, Mexer began his career with Grupo Desportivo de Maputo. In January 2010 he moved to Portugal, joining Sporting CP for a fee of €173,000 and agreeing a 2+1⁄2-year contract with the option of a further three.[3][4][5]

On 24 February 2010, Mexer made his debut with a Sporting jersey in a reserve team match against C.F. Os Belenenses, for the Liga Intercalar.[6] In August, 50% interests on any future transfer revenue received by Sporting were sold to Traffic Group for €87,000,[5] and he spent the 2010–11 season on loan to fellow Primeira Liga side S.C. Olhanense, making his competition debut on 11 September 2010 and playing six minutes in a 0–0 draw at precisely Sporting.[7]

Mexer also played the 2011–12 campaign with the Algarve club, still owned by the Lions,[8] and only missed six league matches as his team again managed to retain their status. In May 2012, he moved to C.D. Nacional also in the Portuguese top tier on a four-year deal.[9]

Rennes[]

On 19 June 2014, after a failed transfer to the French club in January, Mexer signed with Stade Rennais FC.[10] In only his second appearance in Ligue 1, on 16 August, he contributed with two goals in a 6–2 home win over Evian Thonon Gaillard FC.[11]

On 27 April 2019, Mexer played the full 120 minutes and scored the 2–2 equaliser against Paris Saint-Germain F.C. in the final of the Coupe de France, helping his team win the competition for the third time in their 118-year history after being down 2–0.[12]

Bordeaux[]

On 9 May 2019, Mexer signed a four-year contract with FC Girondins de Bordeaux also of the French top division.[13]

International career[]

Mexer made his debut for Mozambique in 2007, and represented the nation at the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations.[14]
