Kameri began his career at FC Liefering. Between 2016 and 2017 he played for the youth of the partner club Red Bull Salzburg for a short time before moving to the Red Bull Salzburg academy for the 2018/19 season. After three years at the academy, he moved to the professional squad of the farm team FC Liefering for the 2021/22 season.[2]

His debut for Liefering in the 2. Liga he gave in July 2021, when he was in the starting line-up on the first day of that season against Kapfenberger SV.

On 21 August 2024, Kameri joined Rheindorf Altach, on a season-long loan.[6]
