Club career

Real Madrid

Mejías 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 División B. As first-team manager José Mourinho decided to rest Iker Casillas, Mejías was selected for a La Liga home match against Getafe CF on 10 May 2011. He replaced another club youth graduate, Antonio Adán, for the last ten minutes of a 4–0 home win. Mejías 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 the following year, as the B's retained their Segunda División status.

Middlesbrough

On 11 February 2014, Mejías 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 Mejías 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, Mejías was loaned to Rayo Vallecano until the end of the Spanish second-tier season. At the end of the following campaign, he was released by Middlesbrough.

Omonia

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

Return to Middlesbrough

Mejías returned to Middlesbrough on 4 July 2019, agreeing to a two-year deal. In September 2020, he was loaned to FC Dinamo București of the Romanian Liga I.

Later career

Mejías joined Turkish TFF First League side Ankaraspor in January 2021. He switched teams and countries again in October, signing for Western Sydney Wanderers FC in the Australian A-League. On 4 January 2023, Mejías returned to Spain six years after leaving, agreeing to a contract at Primera Federación club AD Ceuta FC. On 1 February 2024, having become a backup to new signing Pedro López, he returned to the professional leagues on a five-month deal at second-tier FC Cartagena.
