Club career Early career Hailing from Rydboholm, Warneryd joined Swedish side youth system as a youngster, where he stayed until he was thirteen years old, when he moved to the academy of IF Elfsborg. In 2021, after two years at IF Elfsborg, Warneryd moved once again, this time to Norrby IF. By 2023, he was moved up from the academy to the men's team, playing in the Ettan, where he made twenty-three league appearances, while scoring one goal.

In his first season at the club, Warneryd played twenty-four league games, as the team ended last in the standings and were relegated to the second tier. The second season at Västerås SK saw Warneryd play another sixteen games in the Superettan, while scoring three goals.

On 16 May 2026, Warneryd received his first red card in a match against rivals Bodø/Glimt after elbowing Fredrik Sjøvold in the throat. The red card resulted in a three match ban for Warneryd. Thai newspaper Phuket Gazette wrote in 2026 that he "became a key player for Tromsø" while playing for the club.
