Sporting Kansas City's Kei Kamara sold to English Championship side Middlesbrough
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Kei Kamara is headed back to England, this time with both eyes on staying there for good.
Sporting Kansas City announced Monday that they have transfered their prized forward to Championship side Middlesbrough FC, ending a run that saw Kamara become one of the most recognizable and reliable players during Kansas City's impressive franchise rebirth.
"Over the last four-plus years Kei's progression as a player has been tremendous," Sporting Kansas City manager Peter Vermes said in a statement. "We appreciate his service to the team and to the club and we wish nothing but the best for him and his next challenge as a player."
Although terms of the deal were not disclosed, Sporting Kansas City called the transfer fee "substantial" in their press release Monday evening and confirmed they will receive two-thirds of the fee to use as allocation money, per MLS rules.
