[2] That year, the team finished second in the state under-20 cup, falling to the academy of Perth Glory in the final with Yumange starting the match. [3] Yumange departed the club following the season, [4] and returned to Rockingham City in 2020. He remained with the club through the 2021 season. [5]

In 2021, Yumange committed to play NCAA Division I college soccer in the United States with the Chicago State Cougars. [1] Over his two seasons with the club, he made twenty-eight appearances, scoring two goals. [6] Following the 2022 season, he transferred to Carthage College to play for the Firebirds in the NCAA Division III. [7] During breaks in the college season, Yumange played semi-professional football in the USL League Two to remain fit. In 2024, he played for River Light FC, but was limited to just two league appearances because of international duty. [8] [9]
