Career

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

Mrezigue was part of the Algeria squad that finished runners-up in the 2022 African Nations Championship (which took place in 2023 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Africa), and was elected Player of the Tournament.
