Born in London,[3] Mersin moved from Millwall to Liverpool in January 2011.[4] He signed for Kasımpaşa in August 2014,[5] before returning to England with Crawley Town in June 2016.[6] He was offered a new contract by Crawley at the end of the 2017–18 season.[7] On 9 May 2019, Mersin was released by Crawley after making 19 appearances for the club.[8]
