Timeline

1923

On the next matchday, 23 February, he came on as a 58th-minute substitute, and 19 minutes later, scored his first goal for Norwich, equalising 1–1 against Everton with a powerful header at Carrow Road, in an eventual 2–1 victory.

Kamara assisted team-mate Wes Hoolahan in the 1–1 draw against Sunderland on 17 March, as his header past the goalkeeper was deflected into the net by Hoolahan who was standing on the goal-line.

Kamara later claimed the only reason he did not claim the goal as his own was that it was St. Patrick's Day, and he and Irishman Hoolahan had an Irish dance celebration planned.

Kamara quickly became a fan favourite of the Norwich support for his enthusiastic and flamboyant style of play, with some fans composing songs to recognise their new-found hero.

Despite this, Kamara did not score any more in a Norwich shirt and Norwich declined the option of taking him on a permanent transfer.

1963

He made his debut for the club twelve days later, coming on as a 63rd-minute substitute in a 1–3 loss to Ipswich Town.

On 17 September, Kamara made his first start and scored his first goal for Boro in a 2–2 draw at Nottingham Forest.

He followed up his first goal against Forest by scoring on his home debut, a 3–3 draw against AFC Bournemouth four days later.

He then scored on 5 October in a 4–1 win at home to Yeovil Town, and twenty days later in a 4–0 home win at over Doncaster Rovers.

1975

However, his work permit renewal application was declined after Sierra Leone fell to 75th place in the FIFA World Rankings and Wolverhampton shifted its focus to signing Yannick Sagbo instead.

1984

Kei Ansu Kamara (born 1 September 1984) is a Sierra Leonean professional footballer who plays as a striker.

He is one of 11 players to have scored 100 goals in MLS history, achieving the landmark in 300 appearances.

He is currently third on MLS's all-time scoring list, scoring for 10 different MLS clubs.

1986

He made his league debut for Norwich as an 86th-minute substitute in a 0–0 draw with Fulham four days later.

2001

Kamara was born and raised in Kenema, Sierra Leone's second-largest city, and began his career playing for Kallon F.C. from 2001 to 2003.

At age 16, Kamara and his family migrated to the United States through a refugee program, initially moving to Maryland, before settling with relatives in Hawthorne, California, near Los Angeles.

He became an American citizen.

Kamara played college soccer at California State University, Dominguez Hills, where, in his second year, he was named third-team All-American.

Kamara also spent two seasons with Orange County Blue Star in the USL Premier Development League.

2006

Kamara was chosen by Columbus Crew in the first round ninth overall at the 2006 MLS SuperDraft.

He spent two seasons there, making 36 appearances and scoring 5 goals.

At the time, the No. 1 spot in the allocation ranking was held by Columbus Crew SC, the club which initially drafted Kamara in 2006.

2008

Prior to the 2008 season, he was traded to San Jose Earthquakes in exchange for Brian Carroll.

However, he spent only the 2008 season there, making 12 appearances and scoring 2 goals.

On 24 July 2008, Kamara was traded to Houston Dynamo for a first-round pick in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft and allocation money.

On 30 September 2008, Kamara scored two goals for MLS champion Houston Dynamo against Mexican club UNAM Pumas in a CONCACAF Champions League match.

2009

On 15 September 2009, Kamara was traded to Sporting Kansas City for Abe Thompson and allocation money.

Kamara had several productive seasons with Kansas City which saw him become one of the most imposing wingers in the league.

2013

Kamara was a transfer target of Norwich City of the English Premier League during the winter 2013 transfer window, following an unsuccessful trial at Stoke City earlier in the off-season.

It was announced on 30 January 2013 that Kamara was signed on loan by Norwich for the remainder of the 2012–13 Premier League season.

Norwich had the option for a pre-negotiated permanent transfer or to return Kamara to Sporting at the end of the season, in which case Kamara would miss the first 10 matches of the MLS season.

As part of the deal, Kamara's contract with Major League Soccer was extended.

Norwich City announced on 5 February that Kamara was granted a visa, making him legally eligible to play for the club.

On 4 May 2013, Norwich City confirmed the loan deal had ended and he would be returning to Sporting Kansas City immediately.

On 2 September 2013, it was confirmed that Kamara had signed for Middlesbrough of the Championship on a two-year contract for a fee of £900,000.

2014

On 28 August 2014, it was announced that Middlesbrough had parted company with Kamara as his contract had been cancelled by mutual consent.

After parting ways with Middlesbrough, Kamara had a successful trial with recently promoted Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers.

In late August 2014, it was revealed that Kamara could return to MLS but would have to go through the league's allocation ranking system since Kansas City received a transfer fee for the player.

On 7 October 2014 it was confirmed that Kamara had signed for Columbus and would officially be added to the roster 1 January 2015.

Because he was released by Middlesbrough after the 2014 MLS roster freeze, he would not be able to appear for the Crew until the 2015 Major League Soccer season.
