The Major League Soccer’s sixth all-time leading goalscorer Kei Kamara has opened up for the first time after leaving Canadian side Vancouver Whitecaps.
He scored 14 goals for the Whitecaps last season and six assists but was not enough to convince new manager and was told his services were no longer needed at the club.
Kamara, 34, who joined Colorado Rapids was awaiting news from his agent about where he’d be playing in 2019, his ninth professional club.
However, the former Middlesbrough attacker was instead picked by Cincinnati and traded to the Rapids for an international roster spot, on a two-year deal last month.
He told MLS soccer website, “All the energy I spent playing, trying to help the team grow, help the younger players around me, I felt good that I was going to stay in Vancouver for a little longer.”
The attacker added, “Even after the head coach was let go, even though he was the head coach that brought me there. Maybe I was reading the energy wrong.”
“When I got the news that they weren’t interested in keeping me and I was being traded, I was shocked,” Kamara explained.

Turay has not been able to sustain a run of form for STVV since his first goal against Lokeren in August and has only played six times in all competition.
“It will be important for him to get back playing minutes, here or elsewhere, we’re going to take a look at that, a loan, maybe, yes.”
“Buya started well with a goal that brought us a point, after which he had a difficult period,” The club’s technical director Tom Van den Abbeele explained.
“He is a guy who has a lot of qualities, otherwise you are not a top shooter in Sweden, but it is also the first time that there is so much pressure on him.”
“The most expensive purchase in the history of STVV at times, you notice that this is not easy to deal with and that is currently the hardest for him.”
Before his move, the 23-year-old scored nine goals in 13 appearances for former club Dalkurd.
