After impressing during the pre-season,[6] Camara made his second division debut on 14 August 2022, starting in a 2–0 home loss against Granada CF.[7] He scored his first professional goal fourteen days later, netting the opener in a 1–1 home draw against Deportivo Alavés, and ended the campaign with one further goal in 37 league appearances as the club suffered relegation.

On 8 August 2024, Camara signed a four-year deal with Racing de Santander in division two.[8] On 3 August 2026, he moved to Slovak side ŠK Slovan Bratislava on a contract of the same duration.[9]
