The second-tier league played a crucial role in his development, providing consistent game time and exposure to a more physical style of football.
His performances at this level allowed him to adapt to the demands of senior competition and attracted attention from top-tier clubs.
In 2022, he secured a move to Kakamega Homeboyz, marking his entry into the FKF Premier League.
Shumah made an immediate impact despite limited preparation time, having joined mid-season and proceeded to earn a place in the starting lineup.

Over the following seasons, he established himself as one of the most effective forwards in the league, showing consistency in front of goal and improvement in overall play.
He later posted 6 goals in the 2023/24 KPL season.
His breakthrough moment came in the 2024/2025 FKF Premier League season, where he scored 17 goals to finish as the league’s top scorer.
That performance confirmed his status as one of Kenya’s leading attackers and positioned him for a move abroad.
