Club career

Nice

Pelmard made his professional debut with Nice in a 1–0 Ligue 1 loss to Amiens on 23 February 2019.[4]

Basel

On 1 July 2021, Pelmard joined Basel's first team for their 2021–22 season under head coach Patrick Rahmen on a one-year loan. Pelmard played his debut for his new club in the second qualifying round of the 2021–22 UEFA Europa Conference League, a home game in the St. Jakob-Park on 22 July 2021 as Basel won 3–0 against Partizani Tirana.[5] Three days later, on 25 July, he played his domestic league debut for the club in the away game in the Letzigrund, Zürich, as Basel won 2–0 against Grasshopper Club.[6] In that season Pelmard played 33 of the team's 36 league matches, missing two due to injury and one due to a suspension. On 4 February 2022, Basel exercised the purchase option in their loan contract and signed Pelmard on a definite basis with a three-and-a-half-year contract until the summer of 2025.[7]

In Basel's 2022–23 season, under new head coach Alexander Frei and later Heiko Vogel, Pelmard was again a regular in the starting eleven, playing 34 of the 36 league games. In the 2022–23 UEFA Europa Conference League Basel advanced as far as the semi-finals, but here they were defeated by Fiorentina. Nevertheless, the player decided to move on.[8] During his time with the club, Pelmard played a total of 116 games for Basel without scoring a goal. 67 of these games were in the Swiss Super League, six in the Swiss Cup, 32 in the UEFA Conference League and 11 were friendly games.[9]

Clermont

On 12 July 2023, Pelmard returned to France to sign for Ligue 1 club Clermont on a four-year deal.[10]

On 14 August 2024, Pelmard was loaned to Lecce in Italy.[11]

International career
