Club career

As a youth player, Zommers joined the youth academy of AGF in Denmark.[5]

He started his career with Parma.[6][7][8][9]

In the 2015-16 Serie D, Kristaps made 25 appearances and kept 17 clean sheets.[10]

Local journalists were deterred by the fact that he can't speak Italian fluently so his interviews were conducted in English.[11]

In an interview with the Italian show "Sports Bar" he said that "In football, you know, things may not always go smoothly; it only affects work and will continue to give my best in training. I am convinced, that our quality, in the long run, will come out."[12] On 17 January 2019 he was released from his Parma contract by mutual consent.[13]

In 2020, he signed for Nara.[14]

Zommers returned to Latvia and signed with Valmieras FK on 10 September 2020.[15]

In 2022, he signed for Super Nova.[16]

International

Zommers made his Latvia U-21 debut versus Estonia in the Baltic Cup and is deemed the highest prospect in Latvian goalkeeping.[17]
