Club career
Born in Catalonia, Gumbau began his career at FC Martinenc, where he stood out for his goalscoring ability.[citation needed] He signed for FC Barcelona in 1917 and scored 19 goals in 35 caps before he returned to Martinenc after the 1917–18 season.[1] In 1921, Gumbau joined CE Júpiter, where he ended his career in 1924.
International career
When he joined FC Barcelona in 1917, Gumbau was summoned to play for the Catalonia national team, being a member of the Catalan side that participated in the 1917 Prince of Asturias Cup, an inter-regional competition organized by the RFEF.[2] Gumbau started in all three games and scored twice, in a 2–2 draw with Castile/Madrid XI and the only goal of a 1–0 over Cantabric. Catalonia ended up as runner-ups after losing the decisive game to Madrid (0-2).[3][4]
