Club career
= SC Freiburg =
At the age of twelve, Frommann moved from his home club SV Oberachern to the youth academy of SC Freiburg.{{cite web |last1=Brunner |first1=Reinhard |title=»Einer von uns« im EM-Finale |url=https://www.bo.de/lokales/achern-oberkirch/einer-von-uns-im-em-finale# |publisher=Baden Online |accessdate=4 September 2020 |language=German |date=25 May 2015}} In 2017, he made his debut in the Regionalliga Südwest for SC Freiburg II, the reserve team of Freiburg, with whom he had previously enjoyed promotion from the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg without making any appearances.{{cite web |title=Aufstieg mit 3:0 gegen Balingen perfekt |url=https://www.scfreiburg.com/fr/scoresheet/aufstieg-mit-30-gegen-balingen-perfekt |publisher=SC Freiburg |accessdate=4 September 2020 |language=German}} In the 2018–19 season, Frommann was part of the professional first team squad of SC Freiburg.{{cite web |last1=Dordevic |first1=Kristian |title=Die neue Nummer drei beim SC Freiburg |url=https://www.ligainsider.de/constantin-frommann_19186/die-neue-nummer-drei-beim-sc-freiburg-246696/ |publisher=Liga Insider |accessdate=4 September 2020 |language=German |date=17 May 2018}}
== Loan to Sonnenhof Großaspach ==
For the 2019–20 season, the goalkeeper was sent on loan to 3. Liga club SG Sonnenhof Großaspach.{{cite web |title=Constantin Frommann auf Leihbasis zur SG Sonnenhof Großaspach |url=https://www.scfreiburg.com/node/24410 |publisher=SC Freiburg |accessdate=4 September 2020 |language=German |date=20 June 2019 |archive-date=13 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190713184514/https://www.scfreiburg.com/node/24410 |url-status=dead }} On the matchday 8, Frommann was given preference over regular goalkeeper Maximilian Reule in a match against Bayern Munich II and made his debut in professional football.{{cite web |title=Spielbericht SG Sonnenhof Großaspach – FC Bayern München II |url=https://www.kicker.de/grossaspach-gegen-bayern-ii-2019-liga-4592107/aufstellung |publisher=kicker |access-date=4 September 2020}} The rest of the season, he was mostly a backup to Reule, as Sonnenhof Großaspach suffered relegation by finishing in the penultimate spot in the league table. Upon his return to Freiburg, he was not a part of the club's future plans, and in early October 2020 his contract was terminated shortly before the transfer window was closed. At the same time, he received the offer to continue training with Freiburg until he found a new club.{{cite web |title="Neue Optionen": Frommann löst Vertrag in Freiburg auf |url=https://www.kicker.de/neue-optionen-frommann-loest-vertrag-in-freiburg-auf-786483/artikel |publisher=kicker |accessdate=17 October 2020 |language=German |date=6 October 2020}}

In November 2020, Frommann signed a contract with 3. Liga club SV Meppen, valid until the summer of 2022, after regular keepers Luca Plogmann and Matthis Harsman had suffered injuries.{{cite web |last1=Kemper |first1=Thomas |title=Neuer Torwart verpflichtet |url=https://www.svmeppen.de/post/neuer-torwart-verpflichtet |website=svmeppen.de |publisher=SV Meppen |access-date=11 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201120111434/https://www.svmeppen.de/post/neuer-torwart-verpflichtet |archive-date=20 November 2020 |language=de |date=20 November 2020}} In May 2022, it was announced that his expiring contract would not be extended, making him a free agent after the season.{{cite news |last1=Kremer |first1=Dieter |title=Torwart Constantin Frommann vom SV Meppen über seine Zukunft {{!}} NOZ |url=https://www.noz.de/sport/sv-meppen/artikel/torwart-constantin-frommann-vom-sv-meppen-ueber-seine-zukunft-41900010 |access-date=30 October 2022 |work=Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung |date=14 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220516032822/https://www.noz.de/sport/sv-meppen/artikel/torwart-constantin-frommann-vom-sv-meppen-ueber-seine-zukunft-41900010 |archive-date=16 May 2022 |language=de}}
