Born in Porto, Meixedo spent his entire youth career in the ranks of FC Porto.[2] He made his LigaPro debut for their reserves on 18 August 2019 in a 1–1 home draw against Varzim SC, as a 69th-minute substitute for Rodrigo Valente after the dismissal of Ricardo Silva.[3] The following 26 July he was in the first team's matchday squad for the first time, remaining unused as Diogo Costa played in the 2–1 loss at S.C. Braga on the last day of the season for the Primeira Liga champions.[4]
On 15 April 2021, Meixedo renewed his contract until 2023.[2] He earned a league medal in the 2021–22 campaign, replacing third-choice Cláudio Ramos in the last minute of a 2–0 home win over G.D. Estoril Praia on 14 May.[5]
