Career
Haugesund
Hailing from Bømlo Municipality, Nyhammer played youth football in Bremnes before joining Haugesund ahead of the 2021 season. In late 2021, Nyhammer secured his first professional contract with Haugesund.[2]
In November 2022, Haugesund decided to draft Nyhammer into the first team, effective from 2023.[3] He made his first-team debut in a friendly match against Wolfsberger AC in Marbella in January 2023.[4] Nyhammer then made his league debut as a substitute in May 2023 against Tromsø. As Haugesund lost, the regional newspaper described Nyhammer as "the only highlight" for the club.[5]
His first Eliteserien start came in March 2024. He went on to start the majority of FKH's games in the 2024 Eliteserien.[6] His first Eliteserien goal came in August 2024 against Fredrikstad, which was also the only goal of the game, clinching an important victory for Haugesund who were threatened with relegation.[7][8][9]
Tromsø
On 29 December 2025, Tromsø announced that they had signed Nyhammer on a four-year contract, in a deal that saw Tromsø defender Miika Koskela, go the other way. The deal was reported to cost Tromsø around 14,000,000 NOK including Koskela, making it one of Tromsø biggest signings of all time.[10][11]
International career
In 2021 Nyhammer made his debut as a Norway youth international for the Norway U15 team.[12]
Ahead of the 2024 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, Haugesund refused to release Nyhammer to represent Norway because of several important Haugesund would be playing at the same time.[13]
