Cameron began playing amateur soccer with local clubs such as Vaughan Rockets, and Wexford Warriors whom he both won the Ontario Cup. In March 1999 when he turned 16 he began his soccer career with London City in the Canadian Soccer League. He made his debut on May 28 against the North York Astros where he scored his first goal. Cameron continued playing with London until he began college soccer with Humber College in 2001. After finishing his college soccer season, he signed an amateur contract with York Region Shooters making him eligible to come back to play college soccer. He made his debut with the club on May 24, 2002, but his team did poorly failing to reach the playoffs.
At the end of the season the York Region Shooters where absorbed by the Vaughan Shooters. This time with the Shooters he helped the team reach the Rogers Cup final but lost 1-0 to the Brampton Stallions. He returned to play college soccer with Humber, where he was named captain and as well the team MVP. With Vaughan he again helped them reach the finals but lost to Toronto Croatia 4-0, again back in 2005 the Shooters reached the finals but again lost to Oakville Blue Devils to a score of 2-1. After many years of impressing in the CSL, Cameron and fellow teammate Matthew Palleschi where signed by the Toronto Lynx of the USL First Division.
He made his Lynx debut on on April 22, 2006 in 2-0 loss at Virginia Beach, in total he played 12 games,[1] helping the Lynx to 10 game undefeated streak at home, a franchise record, and helped reach the finals of the Open Canada Cup but the Lynx lost 2-0 to Ottawa St. Anthony Italia. When the season ended the Lynx franchise dropped two divisions down to the USL Premier Development League, many players were released but Cameron remained and continued to play with the Lynx.
He played in a Toronto FC reserve match as a guest player on September 30, 2007. He is also a Grandson of the legendary footballer Terry Medwin
On May 14, 2009 the Brampton Lions announced the signing of Medwin for the 2009 season.[2]
