Club Career

FC Fyn

Vemmelund moved from the under 19 youth squad to the full FC Fyn squad in 2010, where he made one cup appearance and 16 league appearances over 2 years. During the 2011/2012 season he was in the team that won the Danish 2nd Division and subsequent promotion after a playoff with Hellerup IK.[1]

Odense Boldklub

He moved to Odense Boldklub in March 2013. Although on the bench 14 times over 2 years, he did not play in the domestic league for Odense. He did however play a Danish Cup match in September 2013, in a 9-1 away win against FC Udfordringen.[2]

Ungmennafélagið Stjarnan

Due to a lack of appearances for Odense he joined Stjarnan to play in Icelands premier division, the Úrvalsdeild.[3]

In 2014, Vemmelund made 17 league appearances in the season Stjarnan won the Úrvalsdeild for the first time in their history.[4]

In the 2014–15 UEFA Europa League that year, he was in teams that beat Bangor City in the first qualifying round,[5] Motherwell in the second qualifying round,[6][7] and Lech Poznań in the third qualifying round.[8][9] In the play-offs proper he played in both matches in a 9-0 aggregate defeat to Inter Milan.[10][11] Vemmelund was quoted in the Irish Sun giving his experience of playing in the San Siro:[3]

“ Sometimes you don’t think too much about what you’re doing but it’s not another game when you walk out on the pitch at the San Siro and there are 45,000. You can imagine how it is.

I was marking Kovacic, who is now at Real Madrid. I got his shirt but he scored two goals.

 ”

IF Brommapojkarna

He returned to Denmark in 2015 but after a few months at BK Marienlyst where he did not feature, in August 2015 he moved on a free transfer to IF Brommapojkarna to play in the Superettan. He played in 9 league matches in a year that Brommapojkarna were relegated to Division 1. He played in one Svenska Cupen match in a 3-0 away win against IF Sylvia.[12]

A free agent, Vemmelund underwent a trial with Derry City in December 2015,[13] he was subsequently signed by Derry for the 2016 season in January 2016.[14]
