Career
Early years
Born in Lewisham,[4] Udumaga began his career in the youth system at nearby club Charlton Athletic, before moving League Two side Oxford United in 2011 and signing scholarship forms in February 2012.[4] He joined Premier League club Newcastle United on trial in 2012,[5][6] before signing for Championship side Crystal Palace towards the end of the 2012–13 season.[7]
Brentford
Towards the end of the 2013–14 season, Udumaga joined League One side Brentford on trial.[3] After impressing for the Development Squad, he signed a one-year professional contract with the newly promoted Championship club in June 2014.[8] After eight goals and almost as many assists for the Development Squad during the first half of the 2014–15 season, Udumaga was rewarded with his maiden call into the first team squad for a league match versus former side Charlton Athletic on 14 February 2015, remaining an unused substitute the 3–0 defeat.[9] On 26 February, it was announced that Udumaga had signed a new one-year deal.[10] Udumaga was called into the first team squad for three late-season games and finished the season as top scorer for the Development Squad,[9] having scored 12 goals in 24 appearances.[11]
Udumaga continued his involvement with the first team into 2015–16 pre-season, being included in the squad for a training camp in Portugal in July and scoring in friendlies versus S.C. Farense and Tottenham Hotspur.[12][13] He made his senior debut with a start in the League Cup first round versus former side Oxford United on 11 August, playing the full 90 minutes of the 4–0 defeat.[14] A spate of transfers away from the club and an injury crisis saw Udumaga hold onto his place on the bench and he made three further substitute appearances during the following month.[14] Despite making 14 appearances for the Development Squad, Udumaga requested his contract be cancelled before the end of the 2015–16 season.[15][16] During two years with the Bees, he made four first team appearances and scored 14 goals in 42 appearances for the Development Squad.[11][15][17][18]
Wycombe Wanderers (loan)
On 26 November 2015, Udumaga joined League Two club Wycombe Wanderers on a one-month loan.[19] Despite failing to make an appearance,[14] his loan was extended by a further month.[20] Udumaga finally made his Chairboys debut as a substitute for Paul Hayes late in a 2–0 win over Crawley Town on 28 December.[14] He made three further appearances before returning to Brentford when his loan expired.[21]
KSF Prespa Birlik
On 6 August 2016, Udumaga was announced as having joined Swedish Division 1 Södra side KSF Prespa Birlik.[22] He scored the first senior goal of his career on his 9th appearance, with the only goal of a match versus IK Oddevold on 16 October 2016.[23]
