Club career

Early career

Born in Casablanca, Morocco, Messoudi moved to Canada at the age of eight. He played his youth soccer with Montreal-Concordia AAA before joining the Montreal Impact Academy in 2010. He played with the senior academy team in the Canadian Soccer League's first division during the 2012 season. Messoudi would help Montreal clinch a playoff berth by finishing second in the division. The academy side would defeat Toronto FC's academy in the quarterfinal. In the next round of the postseason, Montreal would defeat the York Region Shooters to qualify for the championship final match. He would appear in the championship match, where Toronto Croatia would defeat Montreal.

Montreal Impact

On June 4, 2013, it was announced that Messoudi had signed his first professional contract with the Montreal Impact of Major League Soccer. In his debut season with the senior team, he played in the league's reserve division where he appeared in 10 matches. After the conclusion of the season, Montreal would extend his contract for the 2014 season.

On March 28, 2014, it was confirmed that Messoudi would join the new expansion North American Soccer League side Ottawa Fury FC for the 2014 season. He then made his professional debut in the Canadian Championship against FC Edmonton. He came on as a 77th-minute substitute for Oliver Minatel as the match ended 0–0. Messoudi would fail to make a league appearance for Ottawa and upon his return to Montreal, his contract option was declined at the end of the 2014 season.

FC Montreal

Despite being cut Messoudi would remain a part of the Impact organization, being announced as part of the roster of the newly formed FC Montreal on March 13, 2015. He was released by the team at the end of the 2015 USL season.

Messoudi signed a 2-year deal with Norwegian top-flight Odd on March 17, 2016. He shortly after made his debut coming on as a substitute in a cup tie against Tollnes. He would make his European continental tournament debut against PAS Giannina on July 21, 2016. Messoudi left the club after the 2017 season when his contract expired.
