Kammies was born in Elsie's River and joined the Ajax Cape Town academy.[3] He was selected to represent South Africa U20 in the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup, as a replacement for unavailable Reeve Frosler.[4] Kammies was then supposed to play the 2017 COSAFA U-20 Cup as well, but Ajax Cape Town declined to release him for international duty as he instead made his Premier Division debut in December 2017.[3][5]

Kammies later played for Cape Umoya United before that club was sold to Venda, and he instead joined Cape Town All Stars.[6] He was brought to Chippa United in the summer of 2022 as a part of a large influx of new players, with 16 signings being announced together.[7]

In 2024 he selected for Bafana Bafana to contest the 2024 COSAFA Cup.[8] Kammies did not play any of the matches, however.
