FC Cincinnati Signs Veteran Striker Kei Kamara
FC Cincinnati has made a major announcement by signing veteran striker Kei Kamara for the remainder of the 2025 Major League Soccer season, with an option for 2026. This move adds depth to the team’s attacking options and signals a potential extension if both parties are satisfied with the partnership.
In an official statement, the club confirmed, “FC Cincinnati announces today the signing of veteran striker Kei Kamara on a contract through the end of the 2025 season, with an option for 2026. Kamara will join the squad as an additional roster spot.”
At 40 years old, Kamara returns to MLS after a six-month spell as a free agent following his departure from Los Angeles FC. Many thought his professional career had come to an end, but the Sierra Leonean striker had other plans.
This signing is historic for MLS as Kamara becomes the first player to feature for 12 different clubs in the league, setting a new record and solidifying his status as one of the competition’s most enduring and influential figures.
Known for his aerial prowess, work ethic, and charismatic personality, Kamara brings not only experience but also leadership to a Cincinnati side looking to strengthen its roster for the remainder of the season. With over 140 career MLS goals, he ranks among the league’s top scorers of all time.
For Kamara, who has represented Sierra Leone at the international level and served as an inspiration to young players across Africa and North America, this move represents more than just a contract—it’s a continuation of an extraordinary journey spanning nearly two decades.
