Career

Bristol Rovers

During his time in the academy at Bristol Rovers, Mehew earned a lot of praise and was U18 Player of the season for the 2018-19 season.[2]

He made his senior debut for Bristol Rovers on 8 September 2020 against Walsall in the EFL Trophy, and scored his first professional goal in the process.[3] Three days later on 11 September 2020, Mehew signed a new two-year contract extension with an option for a further year.[4] On 6 October, Mehew again started in the EFL Trophy and again he opened the scoring.[5] On 9 May 2021, Mehew came off of the bench to make his league debut in the final match of the season as already-relegated Rovers lost 1–0 to Blackpool.[6]

Mehew was released at the end of the 2021–22 season following Rovers' promotion to League One.[7]

Loan Spells

On 20 November 2020, Mehew joined National League South side Bath City on loan until early January, joining his young teammate from Bristol Rovers, Lucas Tomlinson.[8] He made his debut the following day as Bath lost 1–0 late on to Hampton & Richmond Borough.[9] On 16 January 2021, Mehew was sent off for a second bookable offence in a 1–0 defeat to league below Peterborough Sports in the FA Trophy Fourth Round,[10] his second dismissal of his loan spell after also being sent off in a league victory over Dorking Wanderers.[11] On 19 January 2021, he scored his first goal for the Romans, opening the scoring in a 2–1 victory over Havant & Waterlooville.[12]

On 26 October 2021, Mehew returned to Bath City on a one-month youth loan deal.[13]

On 10 December 2021, Mehew joined Gloucester City on a one-month loan deal. His move to the National League North side saw him link up with former Development Squad manager at Rovers, Lee Mansell.[14]

On 11 January 2022, Mehew joined Swindon Supermarine on a one-month loan deal.[15] In February, this was extended until the end of the season.[16]

In July 2022, Mehew joined Chippenham Town on a permanent basis following his release from Bristol Rovers.[19]
