Career

France

Hassoun Camara signed his first full professional contract with OM for three years in 2006. He had previously begun his career with his hometown club Olympique Noisy-le-Sec appearing in 67 matches and scoring 1 goal. However, after a few months with the Provence club, he was unable to overtake incumbent starter Habib Beye and in search of playing time he signed a three year contract with Ligue 2 club SC Bastia. With Bastia Camara played as a right sided or central defender or even on the right wing when needed. He had his most productive season with Bastia during the 2008/09 campaign in which he appeared in 26 Ligue 2 matches and scored 3 goals. He scored his first goal as a professional on 22 February 2008 against Libourne Saint-Seurin. The following season he fell out of favor with the club and terminated his contract with Bastia on 18 January 2010, as the deal between the player and the Corsican club was to expire at the end of the season.

Canada

On 7 February 2011, Camara signed with the Montreal Impact of the North American Soccer League. In his first season with Montreal Camara appeared in 22 league matches and scored 2 goals as he was named the clubs most valuable player. After a successful first season with Montreal, in which he was regarded as one of the top players in the North American Soccer League, Camara re-signed with Montreal Impact on October 11, 2011 for the clubs' inaugural 2012 season in Major League Soccer.
