Career
Kumbela began his senior career at 1. FC Kaiserslautern's reserve side. After the club cancelled his contract in 2005 for cannabis use,[3] Kumbela joined Regionalliga Nord side FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt.

After being released from Paderborn on 7 July 2009,[5] he signed a contract with Rot Weiss Ahlen two days later. After six months in Ahlen he returned to Eintracht Braunschweig on 8 January 2010.[6] During his second stint in Braunschweig, Kumbela became a prolific goal scorer for the club and contributed significantly to his team's promotions from the 3. Liga to the 2. Bundesliga in 2011, and from the 2. Bundesliga to the Bundesliga in 2013. On 3 July 2014, Kumbela joined the Turkish Süper Lig side Karabükspor.[7]
Kumbela returned to Germany for the season 2015–16 season, where he joined 2. Bundesliga side SpVgg Greuther Fürth. After six months in Fürth, his contract was terminated by mutual agreement.[8] Kumbela then rejoined his old club Eintracht Braunschweig.[9]
