Club career Born in Mérida, he grew up in a small neighborhood of the town. Since a boy, he showed interest in common sports like Basketball and Baseball, but his major interest was directed to Football- as his father was a great lover of that sport and influenced him to practice it. Meza started playing professionally at Estudiantes de Mérida, making his debut in the top level Venezuelan league at age 16.

After a few team changes in Venezuela, in summer 2008, he signed with Al-Ittihad Aleppo, although he never managed to play because the Syrian team had full quota for foreign players. In half season, Meza returned to Venezuela to sign for Zamora FC. He made his debut on 7 August 2011, in a 0–0 draw against Toluca.

However, Meza did not managed to make himself a spot in the Mexican squad, and on 26 December 2011, the team agreed a free transfer to Venezuelan giants Caracas FC. He signed a contract that will run until 2013. On 18 March 2012, he scored a goal described as "maradonian", in a league match against Aragua FC.
