Career & Clubs

Playing career

Leicester City

Campbell was born in Corby, Northamptonshire. As a youth he played for hometown club Corby Town, before joining Leicester City, for whom he made his first-team debut in 1996 aged 18. Though manager Martin O'Neill rated him as an outstanding prospect, he averaged fewer than ten Premier League appearances a season for Leicester, mostly as a substitute. In 2000, he was loaned to First Division club Birmingham City, where he played two games before returning to Leicester. Leicester won the League Cup twice while Campbell was at the club. First in 1996–97 and again in 1999-2000. Both times he contributed two substitute appearances during the cup runs, and in the latter victory both of these came over both legs in the semi-final against Aston Villa.

Grimsby Town

New Grimsby Town manager Lennie Lawrence made Campbell his first signing in September 2000, landing the winger on a three-month loan deal which was later extended to a season loan. After impressing while on loan at Blundell Park, Campbell was allowed to join Grimsby permanently for a fee of £200,000, where he signed a three-year contract. Campbell played under three different managers at Grimsby, Lennie Lawrence, Paul Groves and Nicky Law. His six goals in the 2002–03 season was enough to make him the club's joint top scorer; they were relegated from the First Division after a five-year stay in the second tier of English football. Campbell's contract expired at the end of the next season,…

International career

Though English-born, he was capped 14 times for Scotland at under-21 level, qualifying through his parents.

Coaching career

In August 2015, first-year Rowdies coach Thomas Rongen was fired after the club struggled to a 2–2–6 start to the NASL's fall season. Campbell was promoted to manager and led the team to a 3–4–4 record over their remaining games. He coached the Rowdies in 2016 and 2017, before he and the club mutually parted ways in May 2018. Campbell now runs his own soccer camps for youngsters, based out of Tampa Bay. As of 2022, he was director of the Nike Sports camp.
