About the Player

Kamo Bayi was born on August 17, 1996, in Ivory Coast, a country in West Africa. He's purely an Indian-bred player as he started his career by tying the lace for the Kolkata-based outfit George Telegraph at the local level.

Kamo Bayi signed his first contract with George Telegraph in 2016. After spending a season with them, he shifted base to Salgaocar FC in the following season.

He came into the limelight while playing for Aizawl FC where he made a total of 20 appearances and scored five goals. He featured for Aizawl, both in the I-League and the Federation Cup.

He later on went to play for other clubs, most notably Gokulam Kerala FC, Mohun Bagan, Mohammedan SC, etc.

His recent trade was with Churchill Brothers where he got featured in five matches and found the back of the net twice this season.

NEROCA FC in I-League 2022-23

The Northeastern-based team is having a heavy time in the ongoing I-League season. The team currently sits 11th in the points table with only Sudeva Delhi beneath them. Head coach Khogen Singh is currently under pressure and looks to resort to things as early as possible.

NEROCA have played nine matches in the ongoing I-League campaign, where they have lost six, drew one, and won just two. So far, the team has tasted success only against Kenkre FC and Sudeva Delhi.

The club's deep lack of goal-scoring is evident in the points table. They managed to score just four goals in the ongoing season and lack a goal-scoring forward. Kamo Bayi will definitely add to the need of the hour at NEROCA!
