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]

In 2015, Dumont managed to play a solid 8 games but didn't take part in the side's finals series.

Dumont was able to build on his second AFL season, playing 12 games of the 2016 season and cemented his spot in North's midfield towards the end of the year. Dumont also played in his first ever final against Adelaide in the elimination final at the Adelaide Oval.[5]
