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,[1][2] Bacari played for four clubs as a youth (all in his native region, mainly RCD Espanyol[3]), finishing his formation with CE Mataró and starting his career as a central defender, being known as Buba.[4] He made his senior debuts with CE Premià, then played two 1/2 seasons with Real Zaragoza and Real Valladolid's reserve teams.[5]

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.[6] 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.[7] 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.[8] On 20 July of the following year he joined CE L'Hospitalet, in the third level.[9]

After being Hospi's second top scorer during his only season, only behind Sergio Cirio, Bacari moved to Bulgarian with PFC Cherno More Varna.[10]

International career

On 30 May 2016, Bacari made his full international debut for Gambia, starting in a goalless friendly against Zambia.
