Born in Palencia, Castile and León, Gelabert joined Real Madrid's La Fábrica in 2015, from Hércules CF.[1] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 25 February 2018 at the age of just 17, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–0 Segunda División B home win against Pontevedra CF.[2]
Gelabert was definitely promoted to Castilla in June 2018, but suffered a knee injury which kept him sidelined for the most of the season.[3] After subsequently overcoming another injury, he scored his first senior goal on 3 November 2019, netting Castilla's first in a 2–4 away loss against Sporting de Gijón B.[4]
After attracting interest from several clubs across Europe during the 2020 summer, Gelabert opted to stay,[5] but was unable to establish himself as a regular starter during the campaign. On 5 August 2021, he signed a two-year deal with Segunda División side CD Mirandés.[6]
Gelabert made his professional debut on 16 August 2021, starting in a 0–0 away draw against Málaga CF.[7]
Gelabert represented Spain at under-17 level in the 2017 UEFA European Under-17 Championship and the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup squads, winning the former competition. Initially called up with the under-19s for the 2019 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, he was forced to miss out the competition due to a broken clavicle.[8]
