Playing career

Lille

Born in Seclin, Dumont started his career at Lille in 2003. He came to the forefront thanks to the departure of Benoît Cheyrou. Having signed his first contract during the 2002–03 season, he enjoyed a good start to the season before a broken ankle led to a season of merely training and little else. Claude Puel, who was then the coach of Lille, decided to use Dumont as a backup for Mathieu Bodmer and Jean Makoun in midfield. He played for Lille over the eight seasons until 2011, a year in which the team won the league title, making 138 appearances and netting 9 goals.

Monaco

On 18 July 2011, Dumont moved to the relegated

club Monaco on a three-year contract. On 15 July 2013, Dumont and Monaco agreed to mutually terminate their contract. Dumont subsequently retired.
