Club career

Born in Linz, Ulmer joined the Frank Stronach Akademie to make his professional debut for Austria Wien in the 2004–2005 season. In summer 2008, he joined SV Ried. On 28 January 2009, it was announced that Ulmer was transferred to Red Bull Salzburg with immediate effect. During the 2017–18 season, Salzburg had their best ever European campaign. They finished top of their Europa League group, for a record fourth time, before beating Real Sociedad and Borussia Dortmund thus making their first ever appearance in the UEFA Europa League semi-finals.^[4] On 3 May 2018, he played in the Europa League semi-finals against Marseille, as his side played out a 1–2 away win but a 3–2 aggregate loss as the side failed to secure a place in the 2018 Europa League final.^[5]

Following the conclusion of the 2023–24 season, Ulmer departed Salzburg at the age of 38, having made 582 appearances for the club across sixteen seasons, during which time he won thirteen league titles and nine Austrian Cups.^[6]
