Trofense. After only eight appearances in his first year, he went on to become an important first-team unit at the Figueira da Foz side.

CFR Cluj

On 24 May 2011, following Naval's relegation, Camora moved abroad to Romania's CFR Cluj, where he joined several compatriots. He contributed with one goal from 28 appearances in his debut campaign, as the club won the third Liga I championship in its history.
Camora became the player with the most league appearances for CFR on 17 April 2018, after surpassing Cadú's record of 202 matches. On 24 January 2019, it was announced that the captain had agreed to a three-year contract extension, at the same time expressing his desire to retire at the Stadionul Dr. Constantin Rădulescu and move permanently to Romania.
