Nashville SC is reinforcing its midfield ahead of a final push for the Supporters' Shield.
NSC announced the signing of 21-year-old Senegalese defensive midfielder Famara Camara on July 27 from Norwegian second-division side Ranheim IL for an undisclosed fee. Camara will occupy an international roster spot after signing through June 2029, with an option through June of 2030, pending confirmation of his International Transfer Certificate and P-1 Visa.
“Famara is a talented midfielder who has the ability to impact games on both sides of the ball,” NSC President of Soccer Operations and General Manager Mike
Jacobs said in a release. “He will join a talented midfield corps here in Nashville and complement that group really well.”
The 6-foot-1 Camara turned professional last year and has since logged 40 appearances for Ranheim IL, recording a goal and two assists. He's also featured for Senegal's U20 national team, playing a part in the team's third-place finish at the 2023 African Games.
Of his 40 club appearances, 13 have come this year, with Ranheim IL currently in-season. He joins an NSC midfield which includes Bryan Acosta, Shak Mohammed, Matthew Corcoran and Eddi Tagseth.
