Early life

Club career

In 2012, after missing out on signing a pro contract with Nancy, he was on trial with Ligue 2 club Boulogne but he tore his quadriceps and was injured for three months. [3] [7] After recovering from his setback, Camacho would join fourth division club Lyon-Duchère. [8]

In 2016, he joined Belgian First Division A club Waasland-Beveren on a two-year contract, with an option for a third. [11] [12] He was named captain of the team in early February 2018 after Ibrahima Seck left the club. [13] [14]

In March 2018, he signed with Canadian club Montreal Impact in Major League Soccer. [15] [16] After starting in the first three games for his new club in which he was able, Camacho was sidelined with hip inflammation, causing him to miss the following six games. [17] He scored his first goal for his new club on 6 July 2019 in a 3–2 loss to Minnesota United. [18] In 2021, he was named the team's Defensive Player of the Year. [19] In February 2022, he extended his contract with the club until the end of the 2023 season. [20]

On 31 July 2023, Camacho was traded to fellow Major League Soccer side Columbus Crew in exchange for $400,000 in General Allocation Money. [21] Camacho would go on to win MLS Cup with his new side, earning a two-year contract extension after the victory. [10]
