Diomansy Kamara joined Celtic on loan from Fulham on February 1st 2010.

The deadline day deal saw the Bhoys sign up the forward until the end of the season, with Celtic having an option to buy the player who had previously played under Hoops boss Tony Mowbray at West Brom.

Following his signing the 29-year-old Senegal international told the official Celtic website: "I'm delighted to sign for Celtic and I am very much looking forward to joining up with the manager and my new team-mates. Celtic is a magnificent football club. I will be looking to do my very best to contribute and bring the supporters success and hopefully enjoy a long future with the club."

Kamara would make his debut for Celtic the day after his move but would suffer disappointment as the Hoops went down 1-0 at Kilmarnock. Despite the scoreline Kamara had impressed with his performance on the wing and just five days later he bagged his first goal for the Bhoys when he opened the scoring in a 4-2 Scottish Cup win at Dunfermline.

Born in Paris, Kamara began his career with local club Red Star 93. After a spell in Italy he joined the foreign legion in the English Premiership when he signed for Portsmouth in 2004 and a year later moved onto West Bromwich Albion.

During Tony Mowbray’s first in charge at the Hawthorns (2006/07) Kamara was in lethal form for the Championship club netting 23 goals as the Baggies reached the Championship play-offs. That form earned a £6 million move to Fulham but Kamara's switch to London was hampered by injuries.

The powerful forward has also won over 40 caps for Senegal, scoring nine goals.
