“In the summer of 2015 he joined the Belgian K.V. Kortijk; six months later he returned to France on behalf of Amiens, aiding the team to be promoted to Ligue 1, participating in 29 games, with 11 goals and two assists.

“In 2017 he transferred to Fulham, appearing in 94 games [24 of which were at the Premier League], with 17 goals and 6 assists. In January 2019, Kamara was loaned to Yeni Malatyaspor and in February 2021 to Dijon.”
