Club career
Hammarby IF Spending her youth career at Nacka FC, Wangerheim joined Hammarby in 2020 as a 15-year-old when the club was promoted from the Elitettan.
In 2023, she scored eight league goals to help Hammarby win both the OBOS Damallsvenskan (Swedish league) title and the Svenska Cupen (Swedish Cup).

On 21 November 2024, Wangerheim scored her first UEFA Women's Champions League goal in a 2-1 loss against Manchester City.
Wangerheim scored a career-best tally of 17 goals in the 2025 Damallsvenskan and she fired Hammarby to the 2024-25 Svenska Cupen trophy, remarkably scoring 11 times in just six matches to finish as the cup's top scorer. On 21 May 2025, Wangerheim scored both goals as Hammarby beat Norrköping 2-0 in the Swedish Cup final. Regarded as an emerging talent in Swedish women's football, the rising star reportedly attracted interest from several top European clubs, including Women's Super League (WSL) clubs Chelsea and Manchester City and Frauen-Bundesliga club Wolfsburg. She scored 65 goals and made 136 appearances for Hammarby during her six years at the club. The Swede made her United debut on 18 January in a 5-0 Women's FA Cup win over Burnley.
