Club career

edit

Darmstadt 98

edit

Mehlem joined Darmstadt 98 from his boyhood club Karlsruher SC in 2017.[2] He would stay with them for seven years, being a part of the side that got The Lilies into the Bundesliga for only the second time in their history.[3]

Hull City

edit

Following top flight relegation three months earlier, Mehlem signed a two-year deal with EFL Championship club Hull City on 1 August 2024 for an undisclosed fee.[4][5] He made his debut for the Tigers on the opening day of the 2024–25 season, a 1–1 home draw with Bristol City on 10 August 2024. 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]

International career

edit

Mehlem is a former Germany youth international, representing his country between U16 and U19 levels.[8]
