Mahazi began his soccer playing for Monash City as a child, where his father was the coach. His father passed away during the 2016–17 A-League season, and this was considered be a factor when Mahazi decided at the season’s conclusion to take a hiatus from the sport.

Mahazi would have to wait four rounds until he could make his second appearance in round six, whilst being on the bench three of those four times. His first away appearance for Melbourne and second start, turned out to be Mahazi’s first full ninety-minute appearance against the Western Sydney Wanderers in a 0–1 loss at Pirtek Stadium, on 16 November 2013.

Mahazi was to make another eleven A-League appearances for Melbourne, bringing the season total to fourteen, logging a total of 1,046 minutes and twelve starts.

At the conclusion of the 2013 season, Mahazi signed his first professional contract with hometown club Melbourne Victory in the A-League, then under Ange Postecoglou weeks before his departure to the Socceroos.
