Club career
Melnjak started his career in the lower tier Nedeljanec, spending most of his youth career there, apart from two seasons at Varteks at under-15 level. After debuting for his club in the 2010–11 season, he moved on to the Treća HNL West team Zelina, where he achieved promotion to Druga HNL in the 2011–12 season. He remained a first team player in the following season, and moved on to the Prva HNL team Slaven Belupo at the beginning of the 2013–14 season.
On 2 February 2015, Melnjak signed a contract with Belgian side Sporting Lokeren for three-and-a-half seasons.[1]

On 23 September 2021, Melnjak signed a one-year contract with Croatian club HNK Hajduk Split, with an option for a further two years.[4] On 19 January 2022, Melnjak extended his contract for two years, with the new deal ending in mid-2024.[5] On 2 March 2022, Melnjak scored two goals against HNK Gorica in the 2021–22 Croatian Football Cup semi-final, taking Hajduk to the final in a 2-1 win.[6] On 26 May 2022, in the 2022 Croatian Football Cup Final, Melnjak again scored twice, this time in a 3-1 win against HNK Rijeka, to give Hajduk its seventh cup win and first since 2012–13.[7]
