Rudy Adrien Camacho (born 5 March 1991) is a French professional footballer who plays as a defender for Major League Soccer club Columbus Crew.

Club career

He began playing youth football with Lille, before moving to CAS Cheminots d’Oullins and then Nancy.[3][4]

He began his senior career with Nancy B.[5]

In 2012, after missing out on signing a pro contract with Nancy, he joined Lyon-Duchère.[6][7]

In 2014, he moved to Sedan, where he was captain of the side.[8]

In 2016, he joined Belgian First Division A club Waasland-Beveren on a two-year contract, with an option for a third.[9][10] He was named captain of the team in early February 2018 after Ibrahima Seck left the club.[11][12]

In March 2018, he signed with Canadian club Montreal Impact in Major League Soccer.[13][14] He scored his first goal for his new club on 6 July 2019, a left-footed effort off of a corner to score his team's second goal in a 2–3 loss versus Minnesota United.[15] In 2021, he was named the team's Defensive Player of the Year.[16] In February 2022, he extended his contract with the club.[17]

On 31 July 2023, Camacho was traded to fellow Major League Soccer side Columbus Crew in exchange for $400,000 in General Allocation Money.[18]
