In 2004 Bumstead moved to West Ham United under Academy Manager Tony Carr as the Lead Youth Development Phase Coach, responsible for players between the Under 12 and Under 16 age groups. A number of players cite Bumstead as a major influence in their development, including Declan Rice,[2] Reece Oxford,[2] Sebastian Lletget[3] and Grady Diangana.[4]

Bumstead joined Arsenal in 2014 under Academy Manager Andries Jonker initially to work with the Under 15s as head coach, before taking over the Under 16s.[6] Throughout his time at the academy, he worked closely with future stars Bukayo Saka,[7] Folarin Balogun, Emile Smith Rowe and Yunus Musah.[8] In 2017 his Under 16 side won the Liam Brady Cup, beating Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Juventus respectively.[9]

During his tenure with the Under 16s, several players and ex-players were assigned to work alongside Bumstead and his team as they studied for their UEFA coaching licenses,[10] most notably Mikel Arteta, Jack Wilshere, Per Mertesacker, Freddie Ljungberg and Thierry Henry.[11]

Following the departure of Kwame Ampadu to AS Monaco in 2018, Bumstead took temporary charge of Arsenal U18 until a permanent replacement was found.[12]
