Thellufsen was promoted to the senior team of AaB along with U19 teammates Magnus Christensen, Morten Rokkedal, Sebastian Grønning, Joakim Mæhle and Bardhec Bytyqi during the 2016–17 pre-season. Sports Director of AaB, Allan Gaarde, described Rasmus as a classic creative midfielder with forces in dribbling and creating the unexpected.[4] The 28 of August, Thellufsen debuted in the Danish Superliga as a substitute for an injured Kasper Risgård in the 34th minute against AGF.[5] A week later, at 7 September, he would get his first starting position in the Danish Cup against Nørresundby from the lower divisions.[6]
On 29 August 2019, Hansa Rostock signed Thellufsen on loan until the end of 2019–20 season.[7]
Thellufsen left AaB on 6 September 2020, signing with Lyngby Boldklub.[8] He suffered relegation to the Danish 1st Division with the club on 9 May 2021 after a loss to last placed AC Horsens.[9]
On 25 July 2021, Thellufsen scored his first goal for Lyngby, securing a 2–1 away win over Nykøbing deep into injury time, after having come on as a substitute for Magnus Westergaard in the 81st minute.[10][11] Mainly utilised as a defensive midfielder, Thellufsen had an impressive streak at the end of the 2021–22 season as a central midfielder with three goals in the final two matchdays.[1] His performances helped Lyngby win promotion to the Superliga.[12]
