Ten Weeks ago
Sierra Leonean striker, Alhaji Adriano
Kamara’s career was feared over, after
his season ended due to heart problems.
Kamara who played
for Swedish football team,Norrkoping, underwent several heart tests in the
united states and has been given proper medical testing and approvals from two
top cardiology specialists , declaring him fit to play again.
In addition to
the good news, the Sierra Leonean striker has joined United States Major League
Soccer (MLS) club DC United on three-year deal.
A transfer fee
has not been paid for Kamara but Norrköping will be compensated if the player
meets performance incentives or sold in the future.
He was originally
examined as part of a Uefa requirement because IFK Norrkoping are due to take
part in the qualifiers for next season’s Champions League.
Experts from both
Uefa and Fifa had advised Kamara against continuing playing football.
This forced
Norrkoping to remove Kamara from their 2016 season squad to stop him from
playing more matches.
But further
examinations carried out by Cardiologists in the United States have now
revealed that Kamara has no cardiac issue.
Kamara will
undergo testing at the end of each season, but for now “is so happy and excited
to be able to play again,” Kamara’s local agent Chernor Musa Jalloh told BBC
Sport.
The former Kallon
FC marksman is the third Sierra Leonean to join DC United after Abdul Thompson
Conteh and Ibrahim Koroma who didn’t play a single match for the MLS club.
