He played in Rwanda, winning three league titles and one cup title with APR between 2014 and 2016. He made his international debut for Rwanda in November 2012, in a friendly against Namibia, and among others played the 2012 CECAFA Cup and the 2018 African Nations Championship.[1]
In March 2018 he was brought by Hans Larsson on trial with Mjällby AIF in Sweden.[2] In October the same year he was on trial in Sandvikens IF together with compatriot Yannick Mukunzi.[3] Even though they both "impressed", a transfer did not happen for Mubumbyi, but he remained in Sweden, signing on for Kramfors-Alliansen in Division 2. Said a representative of the club; "he is an asylum boy, and then you never know how long he is allowed to stay".[4][5]
In the summer of 2019 Valbo FF needed a replacement for Tshutshu Tshakasua and had Mubumbyi on trial.[6] He played for Valbo in 2020, but became noted after joining Helges IF in 2021. The team was low-tier, playing in Division 4, where Mubumbyi scored 6 goals in his first match against BK Legend. He quickly became top goalscorer in the league.[7] In 2022 he scored 6 goals against his former team Valbo.[8]
