Club career

editCampbell was born in Glasgow and attended All Saints Roman Catholic Secondary School in the city.[3] He is a product of the Motherwell Academy having joined the club at the age of 10.[4]
On 29 October 2016, Campbell made his debut for Motherwell as a substitute in a 4–1 win against Ross County.[5] On 15 April 2017, he scored his first senior goal, the fourth in a 4–2 win over Inverness Caledonian Thistle, picking up the man of the match award at the same time.[6]
On 13 October 2017, Campbell signed a new contract, keeping him at Motherwell until 2021.[7] His contract was later improved, but not extended.[8] During the 2017–18 season he took part in the 2017 Scottish League Cup Final (as a substitute) and the 2018 Scottish Cup Final (as a starter), both occasions ending in 2–0 losses to Celtic.
On 12 September 2020, he scored the only goal of a Scottish Premiership match against St Johnstone.[9] In May 2021 the Motherwell manager Graham Alexander said that Campbell would leave the club at the end of the season, as a final effort to negotiate a new contract had failed.[10][11]

Selected for the Scotland under-21 squad in the 2018 Toulon Tournament,[18] the team lost to Turkey in a penalty-out and finished fourth.[19]
