After playing youth football for Loures [pt] and Vitória de Guimarães,[3] Camará joined the under-23 setup at Barnsley before signing for Dulwich Hamlet in 2017. He made 15 appearances for Hamlet, scoring four goals.[4]
Camará signed a two-year professional contract with Crawley Town in June 2017.[5] He scored his first goal for Crawley on his debut in a 5–1 EFL Cup defeat at Birmingham City on 8 August 2017.[6] In 2017–18, he made 34 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals.[6] In 2018–19, he appeared regularly for the Reds, making 50 appearances in all competitions, also scoring three goals.[7] In May 2019, Crawley extended his contract to the end of the 2019–20 season.[8] He was offered a new contract by Crawley at the end of the 2019–20 season,[9] though Camará rejected the offer and chose to leave the club.[10]
On 7 August 2020, Camará signed for Plymouth Argyle on a free transfer following his release from Crawley.[11] He scored his first goal for Plymouth in an EFL Cup tie against Leyton Orient on 15 September 2020.[12] Plymouth exercised their option to extend Camará's contract at the end of the 2021–22 season.[13] Despite this, Camará was made available for transfer with him showing no intent of signing a new improved contract with the club.[14]
Camará signed for Ipswich Town on 1 September 2022 on a two-year deal for around £500,000.[15][16]
In June 2021, Camará received his first international call-up from Guinea-Bissau for a friendly against Cape Verde,[17] but the match was cancelled after a fault with the Cape Verde plane meant they could not get to the game.[18] He was named in Guinea-Bissau's 24-man squad for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.[19] He debuted with them in a 0–0 2021 Africa Cup of Nations tie with Sudan on 11 January 2022.[20]
He scored his first international goal in a friendly match against Equatorial Guinea on 23 March 2022.[21]
