North Melbourne recruited Dumont with the 30th selection in the 2013 National Draft[1] from Norwood in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). Dumont was one of Norwood's best players in their 2013 SANFL Grand Final premiership winning team.[2]

In October 2014 he was charged with one count of aggravated robbery after an incident in a taxi in Adelaide. He pleaded not guilty and was due to face a trial, scheduled in April 2016. This trial was aborted and rescheduled for January 2017, where prosecution withdrew all charges against him and his co-accused, Joshua Lomas.[3][4]
