Early years

TVMK
In 2004, he signed for Meistriliiga club TVMK. In the 2005 season, he won his first Meistriliiga title, scoring a league record 41 goals, which put him in 12th place in the European Golden Shoe.
Helsingborg
In 2006, he signed for Swedish [Allsvenskan]] club Helsingborg, to potentially partner fellow striker Henrik Larsson. However, Neemelo was unable to secure a first-team position and was loaned back to TVMK. In 2007, he was once again loaned out, this time to Superettan club Sundsvall.
MYPA
In February 2008, he signed a two-year contract with Finnish Veikkausliiga club MYPA.
Zulte Waregem

Levadia
Neemelo returned to Estonia and signed for Levadia. He won the 2009 Meistriliiga season with the club.
