Club career

As a youth Palumets was part of hometown club Keila JK. He spent seven years at the club before being invited to join JK Tabasalu at age 14.[2][3] At age 16, he moved to Bologna of the Italian Serie A for one season. He made his debut for the under-17 side on 18 March 2019 in a league match against Udinese.[4] In 2020 he returned to Estonia to join Paide Linnameeskond. Over the next few seasons he would go on to make forty-nine appearances for the club in the Meistriliiga and an additional five in the UEFA Europa Conference League.[5] Paluments was also part of the club's reserve team in the Esiliiga B. In 2020 he was named the league's best player after scoring twenty-one goals in twenty-three league appearances.[6]

After two and a half years at Paide Linnameeskond, Palumets joined Zulte Waregem of the Belgian Pro League in September 2022.[7] The initial three-year deal included a club option for another.[8][5] Zulte Waregem originally spotted the player in Paide Linnameeskond's 2022–23 UEFA Europa Conference League match against Anderlecht. Palumets made an immediate impact for Waregem's under-21 side, scoring against K.S.C. Lokeren-Temse on his debut.[9] He made his league debut for the senior squad on 11 September 2022 in a match against Gent.[10] He entered the match as a 56th-minute substitute in the eventual 0–2 defeat.[11]
