Prior to his T20 debut, Lammonby was named in England's squad for the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup. However, he was ruled out of the tournament after breaking his hand.[3]

On 20 July 2019, he made his Twenty20 debut in the 2019 T20 Blast.[4]

Lammonby made his first-class debut on 1 August 2020, for Somerset in the 2020 Bob Willis Trophy.[5] Lammonby scored his maiden century in his fourth first-class match, against Gloucestershire at Taunton.[6] He followed it up with centuries against Worcestershire and, in the Bob Willis Trophy final, Essex.[7]

In the 2021 T20 Blast, Lammonby scored a "freewheeling" 90 runs off only 36 balls to help Somerset to a 23-run win over Gloucestershire.[8] In December 2021, Lammonby was picked up by the Hobart Hurricanes after playing grade cricket in Sydney.[9]

In April 2022, he was bought by the Manchester Originals for the 2022 season of The Hundred.[10]
