Club Career

Early career

Born in Liepaja, as a youth player Kamess played for his local club Liepajas Metalurgs, coming through all age groups of the academy. In January 2005, at the age of 16, Kamess was taken to the club's first team. He saw himself scoring in the first and only appearance he made that season, helping his team become the Latvian Higher League champions. Even though, Kamess helped his team win the Latvian Football Cup in 2006, triumph in the Baltic League in 2007 and become the champions of Latvia once again in 2009, he did not play much. During 5 seasons the young player made only 28 league appearances, scoring 4 goals due to the fact that more experienced players were more likely to be chosen to play over him.

Gulbene-2005

In July 2010 Kamess was loaned out to the Latvian First League club FB Gulbene-2005 in order to have a chance to play more. Surprisingly, the young player, netted 10 goals in 11 league appearances. He became the club's top scorer, helping them win the Latvian First League championship and clinch a promotion to the Latvian Higher League. Later that year he was also named the best player of the Latvian First League by the Latvian Football Federation.

Return to Liepaja

After the end of his loan spell Kamess returned to Liepajas Metalurgs to start the upcoming season with them. Evidently, the player had progressed and found himself in the starting line-up all throughout the season. Kamess scored 11 goals in 29 league matches, becoming the 5th top-scorer of the season. The 2012 season saw Kamess as one of the club's key players, as he was a constant first eleven player, making 29 league appearances and scoring 10 goals.
