Gammelgaard got his official debut for Vejle on 22 October 2021 in a Danish Superliga game against Nordsjælland, where he came in from the bench to the last couple of minutes.[2][3] On 26 January 2022 Vejle confirmed, that Gamelgaard had signed a new two-year deal running from the summer 2022, which also secured him a promotion to the first team squad.[4]

In August 2023, Gamelgaard signed a new contract with Vejle until June 2026.[5] After a six-month break due to a foot injury, more precisely, a fatigue fracture, Gammelgaard made his comeback in a reserve team match on 2 October 2023.[6]
