[edit] Career
He made his first appearance with Derby County during the 2002–03 season, and joined Burton Albion on loan in January 2003. At the end of the same season, he went to Queens Park Rangers for the last few games also on loan, where he helped the club reach promotion to the old Division One. During the 2004–05 season Camp became a local hero, saving a penalty against Leicester City in his first start at Pride Park. In Derby's end-of-season awards he came close to winning Player Of The Season but went home with the Sammy Crooks Young Player of the Year award. He also won the Brian Clough Player Of The Year. Camp enjoyed many successes not only in the football world; he appeared on many radio shows and also participated in Goalkeeping Essentials by former Derby County coach Alex Penny.
Camp played for the England under-21s five times. Including the first (professional) match at the new Wembley stadium, in which he conceded three goals including one after only one minute.
Camp joined Norwich City on 7 September 2006, on a three-month loan with effect from 8 September, covering an injury to Joe Lewis. Camp made his first Norwich City full début on the 28 November 2006 against Leicester City. He kept his place for the following match against Sheffield Wednesday where he was unfortunate to score an own goal in a 2–1 defeat.
Camp joined his former side Queens Park Rangers on a three-month loan deal on 12 February 2007. Camp was a firm fan favourite after helping the club achieve promotion in 2004 in a similar loan deal. He returned to Derby early, on 25 April 2007, after a suspension to Stephen Bywater left the Rams short of goalkeepers.
Camp was transferred to QPR on 27 July 2007 after long negotiations for a fee of £300,000. He agreed a three-year deal with the club.[1] Camp was the only QPR player to start in every league fixture of the 2007-08 campaign.
On 20 October 2008, Camp joined the club he supports Nottingham Forest on a three-month loan. He played a pivotal role in helping the club climb out of the bottom three and also saved two penalties; one against Derby, his former club and one against Bristol City, both were in the final minutes of the games. He was allowed to go back to QPR when Colin Calderwood was sacked and replaced by Billy Davies his former manager at Derby County.
On 2 July 2009, it was announced on Forest's official website that everything had been agreed and Camp was to undergo a medical and complete the signing by 4 July 2009. The fee is reported to be around £100,000 but with additional payments.[2]
