Kamara, who has played international matches for the Dutch under 18, 19 and 20, is still eligible to play for Sierra Leone’s senior national team, Leone Stars and also had a good run at NEC last season. The new signee told the club’s website: "Before joining Sparta Rotterdam, I had met some friends like Michael Verrips, Rick Ketting, Stijn Spierings and Finn Stokker. I got a very good feeling with Sparta in the conversations I had with players and coaches, and that certainly played a role in helping me choose this club."
Sparta Rotterdam coach Alex Pastor who knows Bai Kamara during his time as head coach of NEC, said he was pleased to have the young and determined player on his squad.
'' Abdul is an interesting player. Not only because he is a youth international, he is determined, ambitious and he is someone who has outlined a clear plan for the future for himself. Kamara had been with NEC for the past eleven years in the youth academy and was offered an amateur contract but the central defender refused but has now moved on to the newly promoted club.
