Born in Buenos Aires, Mesones spent the vast majority of his career in Spain, representing Real Murcia, Levante UD, CE L'Hospitalet and CE Europa, with all clubs competing in Segunda División. In his native country he appeared for Boca Juniors, San Lorenzo de Almagro and Club Atlético Atlanta, and also had a stint at Independiente Santa Fe in Colombia.

In late January 2000, while in training with his club Granada CF, 64-year-old Mesones suffered a heart attack and was admitted to intensive care unit. His last spell consisted of nine games with Cartagonova FC, in Segunda División B.
