On 9 August 2016, Kasumu made his full professional debut for the club, playing 62 minutes in a 2–3 EFL Cup first round away win over Newport County.[5] On 26 December 2017, he signed professional terms, a one-and-a-half-year deal which was later extended a further year.[6] On 13 August 2019, Kasumu scored his first goal for the club in a 2–2 EFL Cup first round encounter with rivals AFC Wimbledon.[7] He signed a new contract in December 2019, with undisclosed terms.[8] Towards the end of the 2021–22 season Kasumu was offered another contract extension but decided to leave the club upon the expiry of his existing deal to pursue a move elsewhere.[9]
