Peterborough United has officially signed former Welling United striker David Kamara to a two-year contract.

Kamara expressed excitement about joining Posh, thanking the coaches for their support. “I felt comfortable from the start and am eager to return for pre-season to make a good impression.”

Kamara, who is 18 years old, is set to join the Under 21s squad after impressing during a trial period at the club.

He originally came to the attention of Peterborough United through their Academy Head of Recruitment, Sam Gaughran.

Kamara had been scouted multiple times while playing for Welling United and was considered one of the top prospects in non-league football.

Posh Academy Manager Dan Robinson praised Kamara’s qualities, noting, “David’s attributes align with what we are after in our forward players. He is quick, strong, and athletic, with the ability to finish and play across the front three. We look forward to working with him.”
