Biography

Bubacar Njie Kambi (born 14 March 1988), known as Bacari, is a Gambian footballer who plays for Bulgarian club PFC Cherno More Varna as a forward.

Club career

Born in Mataró, Barcelona, Catalonia, to Gambian parents, Bacari played for four clubs as a youth (all in his native region, mainly RCD Espanyol), finishing his formation with CE Mataró and starting his career as a central defender, being known as Buba. He made his senior debuts with CE Premià, then played two-and-a-half seasons with Real Zaragoza and Real Valladolid's reserve teams.

On 20 March 2011, Bacari made his official debut with Valladolid's main squad, coming on as a substitute for Álvaro Antón for the last eight minutes of the 1–0 Segunda División home win against Girona FC. He contributed with one goal in 131 minutes during the campaign, as the Castile and León side finished in seventh position.

In July 2011, Bacari signed with RCD Espanyol B. On 3 December he made his first La Liga appearance with the first team, replacing Álvaro Vázquez in the dying minutes of a 1–2 away defeat against Valencia CF. On 20 July of the following year he joined CE L'Hospitalet, in the third level.

After being Hospi's second top scorer during his only season, only behind Sergio Cirio, Bacari moved to Bulgaria with PFC Cherno More Varna.

International career

On 4 June 2016, Bacari made his debut for Gambia, starting in a 0–4 home loss against South Africa for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
