The RSL Academy homegrown thrived in his first season as a professional with the Real Monarchs throughout the 2024 season. Spending time with Real Salt Lake during its 2024 preseason trips to Portugal and Santa Clara, Hezarkhani made his impression on first team boss Pablo Mastroeni. Hezarkhani logged his first professional goal in his third appearance, second start against Houston Dynamo 2 on May 8, 2024. In the 2025 season, Hezarkhani made his MLS debut for the Claret-and-Cobalt in his home state against LA Galaxy in May, and later logged 45 minutes against D.C. United in June. For the Monarchs, the California native logged 21 appearances and 19 starts, scoring six goals and making four assists last year.
