In July 2020, he signed a four-year contract with CR Belouizdad.[3] On 29 August 2023, CR Belouizdad sent Mrezigue on loan to Primeira Liga side Vizela, with a future option to make the move permanent.[4] On 5 February 2024, he returned to CR Belouizdad after an unsuccessful experience with Vizela.[5]
