Clovis Tchoumbou Kamdjo (born 15 December 1990) is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays as a defender or a midfielder for National League club York City.
Kamdjo came to England at the age of 14 and started his career in the Academy at Reading in 2005. He was youth team captain and featured regularly for the youth and reserve team, although he failed to make a first-team appearance for the club. He was sent out on work experience to Cheltenham Town and also had a trial with the club. He was released from the club in 2009 and joined Barnet on a free transfer after being on trial. He became a regular in the 2010–11 season, playing a part in the team avoiding relegation from the Football League in the last match of the season.
In the summer of 2013, Kamdjo dropped into the Conference Premier, signing for Salisbury City. He joined Forest Green Rovers on a two-year contract a year later. Kamdjo represented his native Cameroon at under-17 level.
Kamdjo left his native Cameroon in 2005 at the age of 14, to pursue a career in professional football. He joined Reading in 2005, and progressed through their Academy, playing regurlarly for the youth team and eventually became youth team captain. He scored five goals in 23 appearances for Reading's youth team in the 2008–09 season, and also featured for the reserve team. In April 2009, Kamdjo was sent on work experience to League Two club Cheltenham Town after learning that he would not be offered a professional contract with Reading. The terms of the deal meant that he would be able to feature in reserve and youth team matches for Cheltenham.
