Gartenmann signed his first professional contract on 26 October 2015, a three-year contract.[6] However, during his time with the club he did not manage to make an appearance for the senior team in the Eredivisie.[7]
Sønderjyske

On 1 July 2020, Gartenmann was part of the Sønderjyske team winning the 2019–20 Danish Cup by beating AaB in a 2–0 win. The win marked the first trophy in club history.[12] In May 2022 it was confirmed, that Gartenmann would leave the club, as his contract was expiring.[13]

On 5 August 2013, he gained his first of eleven total caps for Denmark at under-17 level in a 4–0 win during a tournament in Norway against Sweden.[17] After he was not used for Denmark under-18, Gartenmann finally appeared in his first game for the Denmark under-19 on 4 September 2014 in a 2–1 win in the friendly against Norway in Lyngdal.
