Club career

Dammers started playing football at hometown club Spirit and became a youth exponent from Feyenoord. He made his senior debut on 11 December 2014 against Standard Liège in a UEFA Europa League game. He replaced Terence Kongolo after 67 minutes in a 0–3 away win. He left the club for Fortuna Sittard in summer 2017.

On 27 March 2020, Dammers signed a three-year contract with Groningen. On 29 January 2022, Dammers joined Willem II on loan until the end of the season.

On 24 August 2022, Dammers returned to Willem II on a permanent basis and signed a three-year contract. A year later, on 25 June 2023, Dammers signed a three-year deal with Danish Superliga club Randers FC. Just before the 2024–25 season he was appointed captain, replacing Björn Kopplin. In January 2026 he extended his contract until 2030, despite speculation that he would leave at the end of his contract.
