Born in Zenica,[1] SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, back then still within Yugoslavia, Đelmić started his senior career in the Serbian capital Belgrade where he was among the talented youngsters FK Rad were introducing to their first-team.
He played with Rad in the Serbian First League. In order to get more time in the field he was loaned to FK Železničar Beograd during the second half of the 2007–08 season, and played with FK Loznica in the 2008–09 season.[2]
In the summer of 2009, Đelmić returned to Bosnia and started a period of five years of playing in the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina with fK Laktaši, FK Drina Zvornik, NK Zvijezda Gradačac, FK Olimpik and FK Borac Banja Luka. In 2014, he signed with FC Spartak Semey and played in the 2014 Kazakhstan Premier League, but the stay there only lasted half-season and next he was back in the Bosnian Premiership playing with NK Čelik Zenica and FK Željezničar Sarajevo the following two seasons.[3][4]
In the winter-break of the 2015–16 season he signed with Hungarian Nemzeti Bajnokság I side Debreceni VSC.[3] On the last day of 2017 summer transfer window, Đelmić signed one-year-deal with Serbian club Vojvodina.[5]
After Vojvodina, he returned to Čelik and played for the club between January and May 2018.

Even though not a significant one, Đelmić won his first trophy, not only with Radnik, but in his entire career on 30 May 2019, the Republika Srpska Cup, after Radnik beat FK Krupa 3–1 in the final.[8] He decided to leave Radnik on 30 June 2019, one year before the expiration of his contract.[9]
