Abu Bakarr Kamara (born 21 July 2003) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for EFL League One club Portsmouth, on loan from EFL Championship club Norwich City.
Kamara joined the youth academy of Norwich City at the age of ten, and worked his way up their youth categories.[2] In January 2021, he signed his first professional contract with the club until 2023; in October of the same year, he extended his deal until 2025.[3]
On 1 April 2023, Kamara made his professional debut for Norwich, coming on as a substitute for Teemu Pukki in the 70th minute of a 1–0 Championship defeat to Sheffield United.[2][4]
On 19 July 2023, Kamara joined EFL League One side Portsmouth on a season-long loan.[5][6]
Kamara started playing in Norwich City's academy as a winger, moving to left-back, then attacking midfielder, before finally settling as a striker.[7] He has been described as a "willing runner" who helps out the team and "attempts to score all the chances given to him".[7]
Born in England, Kamara is of Sierra Leonean descent.[2]
