Mehlem was substituted for fellow summer signing Finley Burns in the dying embers of the game, having just won his new side the penalty which would eventually secure them their first point of the season. ^[6] He got his first goal for the club just a few days later, on 14 August 2024, scoring Hull's only goal in their 2–1 home defeat to Sheffield Wednesday in the first round of the EFL Cup. ^[7]
