Diomansy Kamara (born November 8, 1980 in Paris, France) is a Senegalese football (soccer) player who currently plays for English club West Bromwich Albion F.C. as a striker.
The Senegal international began his professional career with Parisian club Red Star 93 before joining Italian Serie C2 side U.S. Catanzaro during the 1999/2000 season.
He made 34 league appearances and scored nine times for the Calabrian club before signing for Modena F.C.. In two seasons there he scored 11 times in 57 appearances, impressing many with his speed and agility.
In August 2004 Portsmouth F.C. signed Kamara for £2.5million, making him their then record signing.
However, despite a bright start Kamara struggled for form and with injuries during the 2004/05 FA Premier League season, and after just the one year Portsmouth sold him on to fellow Premiership club West Bromwich Albion F.C..
Though never a prolific scorer in the Premiership, he has become one of West Bromwich Albion F.C. most dangerous attacking players, scoring several goals in the Championship. In his first black country derby he scored once and won a penalty against Wolverhampton Wanderers on the 22/10/2006.
