Career

He signed for Strømsgodset in February 2019, prior to the 2019 season, but was released from the club after one season.

After a year at Mjällby in Sweden, Spelmann returned to Denmark and signed with Hvidovre IF on 2 June 2021.

On 29 November 2025, Spelmann confirmed that he had decided to retire from playing, but would continue at Hvidovre as the U23 coach. In February 2026, Spellmann was appointed as assistant coach of the Denmark U16 national team, replacing Nicolai Boilesen. He took on the role alongside his position as U23 manager at Hvidovre.
