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.{{cite news|url=https://www.wearehullcity.co.uk/news/2024/august/01/mehlem-completes-hull-city-move/|title=Mehlem completes Hull City move|date=1 August 2024|publisher=Hull City A.F.C.|accessdate=1 August 2024}}{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/crgmygnlmypo|title=Marvin Mehlem: Hull City sign former Germany youth international|date=1 August 2024|website=BBC Sport|accessdate=1 August 2024}} 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.{{cite news|url=https://www.wearehullcity.co.uk/news/2024/august/10/hull-city-1-1-bristol-city/|title=Hull City 1–1 Bristol City|date=10 August 2024|publisher=Hull City A.F.C.|accessdate=10 August 2024}} 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.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/crrlwq9xxdyt|title=Carabao Cup: Hull City 2–1 Sheffield Wednesday|date=14 August 2024|work=BBC Sport|accessdate=14 August 2024}}
