On 29 January 2008, Šumulikoski signed for Ipswich Town from Turkish club Bursaspor for a fee believed to be in the region of £650,000, potentially rising to over £1 million depending on appearances. Šumulikoski received his work permit on the following day but only received international clearance on 2 February 2008 after a delay by the Turkish FA. He made his debut later that day coming off the bench in Ipswich's 2–1 away win against Sheffield Wednesday.[1] On 16 February 2008, he scored his first goal for Ipswich in his first home start for the club, his fourth appearance overall, in a 2–1 win over Blackpool F.C.[2]

Preston agreed a settlement to release Šumulikoski from the remainder of his contract in May 2010. After his release, he briefly trained with newly promoted Championship side, Leeds United.

Crystal Palace manager George Burley decided not to permanently sign Šumulikoski after he played in two trial matches. In August 2010, he signed for Russian side Sibir Novosibirsk. He was voted to become captain of Sibir by his teammates prior to the start of the 2011 season.

In February 2012, Šumulikoski signed for Chinese club Tianjin Teda F.C.[3] He made his official debut for Tianjin on 25 February, in a 2-1 CFA Super Cup defeat against Guangzhou Evergrande.
