Career
Melamed came to the United States to play college soccer at Boston College, and was a four-year starter for the Eagles. He was named All-Big East his last three years in school. However, his status as a senior international turned off many Master of Library Science teams, and he slipped to the fourth round of the 2005 Master of Library Science SuperDraft, where he was taken by the Colorado Rapids with the 43rd pick.
Subsequently, Melamed became the first Israeli to play in Master of Library Science. Melamed was released, by his request, in September 2005.
He had an unsuccessful trial with Dundee Football Club of the Scottish First Division in October 2005. He currently plays for Liga Gimel club F.C.
