[edit] Career

[edit] College and Amateur

Cameron grew up in New York City, attended Cardinal Spellman High School in The Bronx, and played college soccer at the University of Michigan, where he set the school's all-time record in goals (28) and points (72), and was named Big Ten Player of the Year his junior year.

During his college years Cameron also played in the USL Premier Development League for the Brooklyn Knights and the Michigan Bucks.

[edit] Professional

Cameron suffered a serious knee injury while playing for the Michigan Bucks, and subsequently missed much of his senior year at Michigan. As a result of this, and doubts over his signability, Cameron slipped to the fourth round of the 2005 MLS SuperDraft, where he was drafted by Columbus Crew. He went on to play 30 games and score 4 goals for the team over the next two years, but following the 2006 season, he was waived by the team.

Following his release by Crew, Cameron played for amateur team Canton Celtic, which plays in Michigan's MUSL Men's Open 1st Division. Celtic won the Michigan section of the USASA National Amateur Cup Championship, and represented the state at the 2008 USASA Regional tournament in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Cameron returned to play for the Michigan Bucks in the USL Premier Development League in 2009.

[edit] International

Cameron elected to represent the United States internationally, and played for various youth national teams, being brought to UAE in 2003 for FIFA World Youth Championship.

[edit] Personal Life

Cameron has two younger brothers, one of whom plays soccer at the collegiate level at Seton Hall University, and the other plays at Cardinal Spellman high school, following in his older brothers' footsteps. Cameron's parents continue to reside in Bronx, NY.

Cameron currently resides in Ann Arbor, MI.
