Born in Kotka, Tamminen started playing football in a youth sector of his hometown club Kotkan Työväen Palloilijat (KTP). He made his senior debut with the club’s first team in 2018, when the club played in second-tier Ykkönen.[1]

In the early 2019, he joined Rovaniemen Palloseura (RoPS) in Veikkausliiga,[2] and during the season featured with the first team and the reserve team in Kakkonen.[3]

On 17 December 2020, fellow Veikkausliiga side FC Inter Turku announced the signing of Tamminen on a three-year deal, and immediately thereafter loaned him back to KTP for the 2021 season.[4][5]

In July 2022, Tamminen represented Inter Turku in UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers.[6] After the season, Tamminen was awarded the Anneli trophy by the club's boardroom, which is traditionally granted to the most loyal team player of the club.[7]
