Malvin Kamara is hurting after Huddersfield Town release

May 12 2009 by Doug Thomson Huddersfield Daily Examiner

MALVIN KAMARA says he’s looking forward, not back after Town’s confirmation of his release.

As the latest round of rumours linked the Galpharm club with Hartlepool defender Michael Nelson and Coventry striker Robbie Simpson, Town announced Kamara will not be offered a new contract.

The development caps a season to forget for the 25-year-old Londoner, who made just six appearances – four for Town, all from the bench, and two in a loan spell at Grimsby.

Injured soon after Lee Clark’s arrival as manager, Kamara admits his departure, along with that of striker Danny Broadbent and defender Dan Codman, comes as no surprise.

“There’s never really been a chance for me to show him what I’m capable of,” said the winger, who has been having specialist treatment on both knees at the Lilleshall Sports Injury Rehab centre.

“I played in the first reserve match after the manager came in, and I was on the bench for two first-team games over the New Year period but didn’t come on.

“Then I got injured, and it’s been a bit of a nightmare, because I’ve had problems with both my knees. Things are improving now, thanks to both Dave Buckby at Town and the staff at Lilleshall, and I’ve started running again.

“I’m ready to work hard through the summer break, and although it’s early days in terms of transfers, there have been a couple of inquiries from other clubs.”
