Kamarai Simon-Swyer's Football Journey

Kamarai Simon-Swyer started his football journey with West Ham United when he was only eight years old. He worked hard through their youth teams.

Becoming a Professional Player

On his 18th birthday, Kamarai signed his first professional contract with West Ham. This meant he officially became a paid player for the club. It was a big step in his career!

First Team Appearances

Kamarai first joined the main West Ham team in December 2021. He was an "unused substitute" in a UEFA Europa League game. This means he was on the bench, ready to play if needed, but didn't get on the field.

His official debut, or first game, for West Ham happened on 3 November 2022. He played in a UEFA Europa Conference League match against a Romanian team called FCSB. He came on as a substitute in the 77th minute.

Loan to Crawley Town

In July 2023, Kamarai signed a new two-year contract with West Ham. Soon after, he joined League Two club Crawley Town on a loan deal. A loan means he played for Crawley Town for a while, but he was still a West Ham player.

He made his first appearance for Crawley Town on 5 August 2023. He played in a 1–0 win against Bradford City. Kamarai played 11 games for Crawley Town before West Ham called him back in January 2024.
