Diomansy Kamara signed for Fulham during the summer of 2007 from West Bromwich Albion, but after a scintillating end to the 2007-08 season, when his goals away at Manchester City turned the tide and began the Club’s ‘Great Escape’, the dynamic striker was dealt the cruelest of blows during the summer of 2008 when he suffered a cruciate knee injury whilst on international duty with Senegal.
The 28-year-old made a remarkable recovery at the end of 2008 and returned to First Team action during the 2-0 win over West Brom in February 2009.
In mid-March he put the seal on Fulham's first away Premier League win of the season, a 3-1 victory against Bolton Wanderers, and in his first start of the season, against Aston Villa at Craven Cottage, the Senegalese striker netted two second-half goals that earned Fulham another crucial three points in their pursuit of a record breaking league placing.
He then scored his final goal of the season at St James' Park, when the only goal of the game secured the Whites another three points on the road. The scorer of exquisite goals, Kamara's electric pace, direct attacking play and skill on the ball provide a unique attacking threat.
Kamara got off the mark this season against CSKA Sofia in the Europa League. With Fulham trailing by a goal to nil in the hostile Vasil Levski National Stadium, Kamara earned a point for Fulham in Bulgaria with a goal that highlighted the striker's blistering turn of pace and a cool head in front of goal.
In January 2010, Kamara moved to Celtic on loan until the end of the season.
