Mário Jorge Malico Paulino (born 21 September 1986), known as Camora, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Romanian club CFR Cluj mainly as a left back but also as a left midfielder.

He spent most of his professional career in Romania with CFR Cluj, having signed in 2011.[1]

Club career

Portugal

Camora was born in Samora Correia, Benavente, Santarém District. After beginning in amateur football, in January 2006 he signed with S.C. Beira-Mar in the second division. He appeared rarely for the Aveiro-based team in his first years, also being loaned once; in the 2006–07 season he played two games with them in the Primeira Liga,[2][3] eventually suffering relegation.

In summer 2008, Camora joined Associação Naval 1º de Maio in the top level, making his official debut for the club in the competition on 15 February 2009 by playing 27 minutes in a 2–2 away draw against C.D. Trofense.[4] After only eight appearances in his first year, he went on to become an important first-team unit at the Figueira da Foz side.

CFR Cluj

On 24 May 2011, following Naval's relegation, Camora moved abroad to Romania's CFR Cluj, where he joined several compatriots.[5] He contributed with one goal[6] from 28 appearances in his debut campaign, as the club won the third Liga I championship in its history.[7]

Camora became the player with the most league appearances for CFR on 17 April 2018, after surpassing Cadú's record of 202 matches.[8] On 24 January 2019, it was announced that the captain had agreed to a three-year contract extension, at the same time expressing his desire to retire at the Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu and move permanently to Romania.[9][10]
