[edit] Biography

Mesbah began his playing career in the junior ranks of French club US Annecy-le-Vieux before being spotted by scouts from Swiss side Servette FC in 2001.[1] He progressed through the ranks at Servette FC and made his senior debut in the 2003/2004 season, playing in 11 games and scoring 3 goals. In the summer of 2004, he left the club as it was facing financial difficulties and joined FC Basel. Used mostly as a sub, he would go on to make just 11 appearances and score 1 goal. In January, 2006, he was loaned out to FC Lorient who were playing in Ligue 2 at the time. However, he was injured before he could make his debut and never featured for them. In the summer of 2006, he signed with FC Aarau.
