After playing collegiately at the University of California, Berkeley, Onumonu was drafted by the Boston Breakers with the 8th overall pick in the 2017 NWSL College Draft.

She was waived on 8 May 2019, after playing in eight games. On 14 May 2019, Onumonu signed with Reign FC as a National Team Replacement player. After stellar performances, she earned a supplemental roster spot on 28 June. On 17 January 2020, Onumonu was traded to Sky Blue FC. She re-signed with the team on a one-year deal on 20 January 2022 based on her strong performance during the 2021 NWSL season, which saw her named to the Best XI Second Team. On 25 October 2022, Onumonu signed a new three-year contract that would keep her with Gotham FC through the 2025 season. On 30 December 2023, Onumonu was traded to Utah Royals for $40,000 in allocation money. On 9 September 2024, Montpellier HSC announced that they had signed Onumonu as a free agent.

On 16 June 2023, she was included in the 23-player Nigerian squad for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. Onumonu was initially named as an alternate for Nigeria's squad at the 2024 Summer Olympics, but was later elevated to the full 18-player roster after Halimatu Ayinde dropped out due to injury.
