[7] It was reported by the French media on 26 January 2009 that he joined Premier League team West Bromwich Albion on a trial basis.

On 2 February 2009, the January transfer deadline day, he joined them on loan with a view to a permanent deal at the end of the season.

[11] On 3 August 2015, Norwich announced that Mulumbu suffered a broken metatarsal in a friendly against Brentford which would require surgery and sideline him for several weeks, ruling him out of the start of the season.

[12] He would finally make his debut on 27 October in a League Cup game against Everton, which Norwich lost on penalties after a 1–1 draw.

[20] Mulumbu was loaned back to Kilmarnock on 31 January 2019, until the end of the 2018–19 season,[21] and played 12 times in his second spell with the Ayrshire club.

[27] He left the club as his contract expired in August 2022, after finishing third in the national championship and putting in strong performances as a key player in the team.

On 23 September 2011, he retired from international duties, quoting "numerous problems we were facing with some authorities within the DR Congo Football Federation".
