Kamarai Swyer is a dynamic midfielder who boasts speed, an eye for goal and the vision to pick out an incisive pass.

At the Academy of Football since he was just eight-years-old, Swyer's impressive attributes saw him sign his first professional contract at West Ham United a decade later, on his 18th birthday in December 2020.

A forward capable of playing across the front line, most often featuring as both a winger and a playmaker, Swyer enjoyed an excellent first year as an U18s scholar, netting five times in just eleven appearances in the league during 2019/20.

The following season, in 2020/21, Swyer began season as a regular in Kevin Keen’s U18s, catching the eye and making his U23s and Premier League 2 debut as a substitute against Blackburn Rovers in October 2020.

Swyer finished the season with ten Premier League 2 appearances (registering one assist), as well as a first EFL Trophy outing and 17 appearances for the U18s (registering two goals and three assists), to his name.

He scored his first goal at development level with a header against Everton in the 2021/22 Premier League 2 Division 1 fixture on Saturday 2 October. The midfielder would go on to make 32 appearances in all competitions for the U23s in the 2021/22 season, scoring six goals. 

Swyer would kick on in the 2022/23 season, becoming a senior figure for the U21s and scoring seven goals in 27 appearances in all competitions for the side. His development and form saw the advanced midfielder earn his first team debut, playing 13 minutes as a substitute in the 3-0 win away to FCSB in the UEFA Europa Conference League group stages.

He would also be involved in the matchday squad for the qualifying round second leg against Viborg FF, and the FA Cup clashes against Brentford and Manchester United.
