Born in Svilengrad,[1] Kamburov began his career with Botev Plovdiv, but then switched to local rivals Lokomotiv Plovdiv, with whom he won the top Bulgarian league, A PFG, in 2004, and the bronze medals in 2005. Kamburov was also the league top scorer in these two seasons with 26 and 27 goals respectively.[2]
Al-Ahli

Kamburov became the top scorer in the 2008/2009 season in the Bulgarian A Professional Football Group, managing 17 goals in total, a remarkable achievement given that he only played in half of the season's games.[4] In the winter of 2009, Kamburov won the best forward of A PFG award once again.
