YOUNG gun David Kamara only had one thing on his mind after landing a dream professional contract with Peterborough United – apologising to the neighbours!

The 18-year-old starlet landed a two-year deal with League One Posh after enjoying an impressive breakthrough season with National League South club Welling United.

Kamara came through a successful trial at London Road and will initially join up with Posh’s Under-21 set-up – a notorious hotbed for Non-League talent.

And the Wings scholar joked that the celebrations of the Ka-mara family almost forced him to take grovelling action.

“It was great to be at the training ground with my family, they have really helped me,” the teenage striker told Posh TV.

“When I told my Mum that I had been offered a deal, she just started screaming. I was like ‘Mum, the neighbours!’ She was obviously very happy for me.

“The minute I walked in the door, I felt comfortable. The rest of the players made me feel welcome and the coaches have been great with me.

“I think it can be a bit of a cliché, but the hard work starts now for me. The coaches at Welling said that and it is true, making your debut or scoring your first goal is obviously a great moment, but it is what comes next.

“I am looking forward to coming back for pre-season and trying to impress.

“I had some great times at Welling, scoring my first goal was something I will never forget, it didn’t feel real.”

Peterborough’s academy manager Dan Robinson said: “David had been watched numerous times playing for Welling United.

“He was rated as one of the best prospects in Non-League football.

“As a club, we are always looking for talent at that level so we brought him on trial, he did well with us and, off the back of that, we have offered him a contract and he will go into our Under-21s programme as a future prospect.”
