Playing career

edit

Kara played as a youth and later made his professional debut with Ak Bars Kazan in the 2017–18 season. Following his third KHL season within Ak Bars, unable to cement a full-time role on the roster, Kara was traded to fellow KHL club Severstal Cherepovets in exchange for financial compensation on 17 July 2020.[2]

In the following 2020–21 season, Kara made 17 appearances with Severstal, posting 1 goal and 3 points. He was also assigned to VHL farm club, Molot-Prikamye Perm, collecting 4 points through 14 games. On 27 December 2020, Kara brief tenure with Severstal ended as he was mutually released from his contract to sign a two-way contract with HC Spartak Moscow for the remainder of the season.[3]

Following a full season in the VHL with HC Yugra, Kara returned to the KHL for the 2022–23 season in securing a contract with former club, Severstal Cherepovets, on 5 May 2022.[4] Before re-joining Severstal, Kara was again on the move after he was traded to HC Vityaz in exchange for financial compensation on 13 July 2022.[5]

After opening the 2024–25 season with Vityaz, Kara was traded by Vityaz to HC Sibir Novosibirsk in exchange for the rights to Pavel Jenyš on 11 September 2024.[6]
