Schmidt is a youth exponent from Werder Bremen. He made his 3. Liga debut on 31 July 2016 against Sportfreunde Lotte. He played the full game.[3]

On 24 September 2016, he made his first team debut in the Bundesliga against VfL Wolfsburg coming on as a 76th-minute substitute for captain Clemens Fritz and assisting the 2–1 winner in stoppage time.[4]

In July 2018, Schmidt joined 3. Liga side SV Wehen Wiesbaden on loan for the 2018–19 season while his contract with Werder Bremen was extended.[5]

In June 2019, it was announced he had agreed a "long-term" extension of his contract with Werder Bremen and that he would join VfL Osnabrück on a two-year loan.[6]

Following his return from loan at Osnabrück in summer 2021 Schmidt was expected to leave Werder Bremen.[7] Good performances in pre-season training and matches earned him playing time at the club.[7] In October, having made nine league appearances in which he scored one goal and made four assists, he signed a contract extension.[7]

In August 2023 Schmidt moved to French club Toulouse, playing in the Ligue 1.[8] The transfer fee paid to Werder Bremen was reported as €2.5 million.[9]
