Panutche Amadu Pereira Camará (born 28 February 1997) is a Bissau-Guinean professional footballer who plays as a midfielder and forward for Charlton Athletic, on loan from Ipswich Town, and the Guinea-Bissau national team.[1]

Club career

Early career

After playing youth football for Loures [pt] and Vitória de Guimarães,[2] Camará joined the under-23 setup at Barnsley before signing for Dulwich Hamlet in 2017. He made 15 appearances for Hamlet, scoring four goals.[3]

Crawley Town

Camará signed a two-year professional contract with Crawley Town in June 2017.[4] He scored his first goal for Crawley on his debut in a 5–1 EFL Cup defeat at Birmingham City on 8 August 2017.[5] In 2017–18, he made 34 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals.[5] In 2018–19, he appeared regularly for the Reds, making 50 appearances in all competitions, also scoring three goals.[6] In May 2019, Crawley extended his contract to the end of the 2019–20 season.[7] He was offered a new contract by Crawley at the end of the 2019–20 season,[8] though Camará rejected the offer and chose to leave the club.[9]

Plymouth Argyle

On 7 August 2020, Camará signed for Plymouth Argyle on a free transfer following his release from Crawley.[10] He scored his first goal for Plymouth in an EFL Cup tie against Leyton Orient on 15 September 2020.[11] Plymouth exercised their option to extend Camará's contract at the end of the 2021–22 season.[12] Despite this, Camará was made available for transfer with him showing no intent of signing a new improved contract with the club.[13]

Ipswich Town

Camará signed for Ipswich Town on 1 September 2022 on a two-year deal for a fee reported to be around £500,000.[14][15] Having initially been sidelined with a groin injury early in the season, Camará made his Ipswich debut as a half-time substitute in a 0–1 EFL Trophy defeat away against Cambridge United on 18 October 2022.[16] He scored his first goal for the club in his next appearance, coming off the bench to score in a 3–0 away win against Bracknell Town in an FA Cup first round tie on 7 November.[17] He made his league debut for Ipswich five days later, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 1–1 home draw against Cheltenham Town at Portman Road.[18] In December, Camará underwent surgery on the groin injury he had been suffering with during the season, ruling him out of action for a number of months.[19] He returned from injury in March, featuring for Ipswich's under-21 team during the remaining months of the season.[20] In total, he made 4 appearances during an injury hindered first season at Ipswich scoring once. Ipswich achieved promotion to the EFL Championship during his first season at the club following a second-placed finish in EFL League One.[21]

On 18 July 2023, Camará joined Charlton Athletic on a season-long loan for the 2023–24 campaign.[22][23]

International career

In June 2021, Camará received his first international call-up from Guinea-Bissau for a friendly against Cape Verde,[24] but the match was cancelled after a fault with the Cape Verde plane meant they could not get to the game.[25] He was named in Guinea-Bissau's 24-man squad for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.[26] He debuted with them in a 0–0 2021 Africa Cup of Nations tie with Sudan on 11 January 2022.[27]

He scored his first international goal in a friendly match against Equatorial Guinea on 23 March 2022.[28]
