Born in Bodø, Norway,[2] Schjelderup began his career in the youth sector at Bodø/Glimt.[3] Schjelderup was coveted by many big clubs throughout Europe, including reported interest from clubs in top leagues in Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands.
In July 2020, Schjelderup chose to move to Denmark to sign with Superliga club Nordsjælland.[3] He was promoted to the Nordsjælland first team following the winter break during the 2020–21 season. He made his senior debut from the starting eleven, in a 0–2 defeat to OB on 7 February 2021.[4] Aged 16 years and 248 days old, he became the 13th youngest player in Superliga history.[3] He scored his first senior goal for the club in a 3–0 win over local rivals Lyngby on 12 March.[5] In doing so, he became the club's record youngest goalscorer in Superliga history, edging out teammate Tochi Chukwuani's record set the previous season, and the fourth youngest overall in league history.[6] On 21 March, the final day of the Danish Superliga regular season, Schjelderup scored both goals in Nordsjælland's 2–1 defeat of SønderjyskE, leapfrogging his club above SønderjyskE and into sixth place, securing the final spot in the Superliga championship play-offs.[7]
He has been capped at youth level for Norway.[8]
Schjelderup has said that he looks up to fellow Norwegians Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard.[3]
