Martin Kamburov (Bulgarian: Мартин Камбуров; born October 13, 1980) is a Bulgarian footballer who currently plays as a striker and is captain of Lokomotiv Plovdiv.
In October 2014, Kamburov scored his 100th goal for Lokomotiv in the A Group. He is currently on 112 goals, making him the club's third-highest goalscorer of all time.
Career
Plovdiv teams
Born in Svilengrad,[1] Kamburov began his career with Botev Plovdiv, but then switched to local rivals Lokomotiv Plovdiv, with whom he won the top Bulgarian league, A PFG, in 2004, and the bronze medals in 2005. Kamburov was also the league top scorer in these two seasons with 26 and 27 goals respectively.[2]
Al-Ahli
In December 2005, Kamburov was transferred to the UAE in Al-Ahli (Dubai) side for €2 million and signed a five-year contract.[3] He was capped 33 times and scored 16 goals. In 2007 he returned to his former club – Lokomotiv Plovdiv.
Lokomotiv Sofia
Lokomotiv Sofia signed Martin Kamburov on January 9, 2009 to a three-year deal. He was given the number 19 shirt. Kamburov had an excellent start to the season, netting 10 goals in just 6 games, including a spectacular hat-trick in Loko Sofia's away game against Levski Sofia on April 11, 2009 to help the team from the Nadezhda district secure a historic 3:0 win. Kamburov became the top scorer in the 2008/2009 season in the Bulgarian A Professional Football Group, managing 17 goals in total, a remarkable achievement given that he only played in half of the season's games.[4] In the winter of 2009, Kamburov won the best forward of A PFG award once again. At the same time, he was again called up for the Bulgarian national football team, with his selection receiving positive acclaim by the Bulgarian fans.[5]
Kamburov ended the 2009/2010 season with 29 matches and 16 goals.
Dalian Shide
Kamburov was transferred to Dalian Shide in July 2010.[6] He made his debut for Dalian on July 28 and scored his first CSL goal on August 1.
CSKA Sofia
On December 18, 2012, Kamburov signed a one-and-a-half-year deal with CSKA Sofia.[7] His official debut came in the 0:2 home loss against Litex Lovech on March 2, 2013 and he scored his first goal on March 31, 2013, in the 3:0 home win over Minyor Pernik.[8] Kamburov made his first appearance in The Eternal Derby on April 27, 2013, coming on as a second-half substitute in a match that was lost 1:2 by his team.[9]
Lokomotiv Plovdiv
In the summer of 2013, Kamburov rejoined Lokomotiv Plovdiv.[10] He became the league's top scorer in the 2013–14 season for fourth time in his career with 20 goals in 35 matches.
CSKA Sofia
On 5 June 2014, Kamburov returned to CSKA Sofia, signing a contract for a period of one year.[11] Kamburov's second stint with the "armymen" turned out to be even shorter than the first, as he made just two official appearances for the team - in the matches with Moldovan team Zimbru Chisinau in the UEFA Europa League,[12][13] before leaving the club in late July 2014,[14] in part due to his belief that he may not be able to get sufficient playing time for them.[15]
Lokomotiv Plovdiv
Kamburov then rejoined Lokomotiv Plovdiv and scored a goal in his first game of the 2014–15 season - a 2–1 away win over Haskovo on 2 August.[16]
