Career

Gamba Osaka

Meshino signed his first senior contract with Gamba Osaka ahead of the 2017 season and was handed the number 40 jersey.[4] He didn't feature at all in 2017, but Brazilian coach Levir Culpi handed him his J1 League debut in week six of the 2018 campaign, a 1-0 home defeat by Vissel Kobe.[5] He went on to make 11 appearances in J1 League that year as well as five in the J. League cup; where he scored in the 3-2 win away to Sanfrecce Hiroshima on 9 May, and one in the Emperor's Cup.[3][6]

While still officially a member of Gamba Osaka's youth team, Meshino started playing for Gamba U-23 in J3 League in 2016. He debuted on 13 March in a game against YSCC Yokohama and in total scored one goal in 13 appearances in 2016.[2][7] After being promoted to a senior contract in 2017, he began to play more regularly; scoring three times in 20 games in 2017. 2018 saw him become more of a regular member of Gamba's J1 league squad, however, he still managed to make 15 appearances in J3; scoring five times, including a double in Gamba's season-opening win over Grulla Morioka on March 11.[8]
