Career

Mashumba signed for Jomo Cosmos F.C. and in his first season helped them get promoted from the 2014–15 National First Division after finishing 2nd in which Mashumba scored 17 goals.^[1] Following this it was thought that Mashumba would leave the club, as his goalscoring efforts had attracted attention from other Premier League Soccer clubs, as well as those abroad. This was confirmed when Mushumba went for trials in Portugal with C.D. Tondela in the Primeira Liga in which he scored a goal in a friendly against U.D. Oliveirense.^[2] Mashumba also held trials in Switzerland^[3] These trials proved ultimately unsuccessful, and he rejoined Jomo Cosmos, signing a 2-year contract.^[4]

On 11 July 2023, Mashumba joined Saudi Second Division side Al-Lewaa.^[5]

International career

Mashumba has represented Zimbabwe at international youth level, playing five times for the U17s, and twice for the U20s.^[6]
