Career

Dumoulin started playing handball at Bourgoin-Jallieu, before joining Chambéry SH in 2000. Here he made his senior debut in 2004. In 2014 he joined Fenix Toulouse Handball to replace Gonzalo Perez de Vargas, who had joined FC Barcelona Handbol.[4] Two years later he joined HBC Nantes. It was originally planned, that he would join the club in between the 2015-16 and 2016-17 season, but due to injury to Nantes' starting goalkeeper Gorazd Skof, he joined already in April 2016.[5][6] With Nantes he won the 2017 French Cup and reached the final of the 2017-18 EHF Champions League, where Nantes lost to league rivals Montpellier Handball.[7]

In 2021 he joined Tremblay-en-France Handball. He retired after the 2024-25 season.[8]

National team

Dumoulin made his debut for the French national team on 21 June 2009 against Latvia. For much of his tenure on the French national team, he was the back-up to either Daouda Karaboué or Thierry Omeyer. With France he won silver medals at the 2009 Mediterranean Games.[9] He also represented France at the 2014 European Men's Handball Championship.[10] At the 2015 World Men's Handball Championship he won gold medals.

In 2018 he won his third medal with France, when they took bronze at the 2018 European Men's Handball Championship.[11] He participated at the 2019 World Men's Handball Championship where France won bronze medals.[12]
