Club career

Born in Freetown, Kamara has played in Lebanon and Greece for Tadamon Sour, Apollon Smyrni and Lamia.[1][2] In October 2014 he was told not to train with Lamia, on advice from the Greek health ministry, following fears over the ongoing Ebola virus epidemic.[3] He wore off a T-shirt saying "we are west Africans not a virus", and as a result faced sanctions.[4]

In August 2015 he signed a two-year contract with Aris Thessaloniki.[5] He signed for Latvian club Riga for the 2016 season.[1][2]

Kamara joined Kazakh club Kaisar on 1 January 2017.[6]

On 8 January 2019, Kamara joined Azerbaijan Premier League club Keşla FK.[7] On 25 June 2020, Kamara signed a new contract with Keşla for the 2020–21 season.[8]

On 27 December 2021, Kamara left Keşla by mutual consent.[9]

International career

He made his senior international debut for Sierra Leone in 2013,[1] and has appeared in FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.[10] He was a squad member at the 2021 AFCON.[11]
