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]
International career
He made his senior international debut for Sierra Leone in 2013,[1] and has appeared in FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.[7]
