Born in Campllong, Girona, Catalonia, Gumbau graduated from Girona FC's youth setup, and made his senior debuts with the reserves in the 2012–13 campaign, in Segona Catalana. He played a key part in the following season, in Primera Catalana, appearing in 31 matches and scoring six times, whilst being named on the bench with the first team in some occasions.

On 1 July 2014, Gumbau signed a three-year deal with Barcelona, being assigned to the B-team in Segunda División. [3] On 23 August, he played his first match as a professional, replacing Wilfrid Kaptoum in the 76th minute of a 0–2 away loss against Osasuna. [4] Gumbau scored his first professional goal on 7 September, netting his side's third in a 4–1 home routing over Zaragoza; [5] three weeks later, he was sent off in a 3–3 draw at Mallorca. [6]

On 15 January 2015, Gumbau made his debut with the main squad, starting in a 4–0 Copa del Rey away win against Elche (9–0 on aggregate). [7] He made his La Liga debut on 20 September 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute for Sergio Busquets in a 4–1 home routing of Levante. [8] On 4 June 2017, he scored the winner for the B-side in a 2–1 away win against Cartagena, which proved to be decisive as his side advanced on the play-offs through the away goals rule.

On 12 July 2017, Gumbau signed a three-year contract with Leganés in the first division. [9] He scored his first goal in the category the following 15 January, but in a 2–3 loss at Real Betis.

On 14 August 2019, Gumbau returned to his first club Girona, signing a three-year contract and being assigned to the main squad in the second level. [10] He terminated his contract on 31 August 2021, [11] and signed a two-year contract with Elche hours later.

On 27 July 2023, recently-promoted to La Liga side Granada announced the free signing of Gumbau, after his link with Elche had expired. [12] On 15 July of the following year, after suffering relegation, he activated a clause on his contract which allowed him to leave the club on loan to a top tier side, and agreed to a one-year deal with Rayo Vallecano.
