Originally from Hampden Football League club South Warrnambool, Umbers played in the reserves for Geelong Football Club without playing a senior game and moved to Brisbane after being drafted by the Bears in the 1990 pre-season draft.

Brisbane were wooden spoon winners in his only AFL season, losing all four games that he played in.[2] Umbers didn't kick a league goal but had three behinds in a match against Carlton.[2]
