Club career

Stoke City

edit

Campbell began his career with Manchester City's Academy before turning down the chance to turn professional with the club in the summer of 2016. He instead signed a contract with Stoke City with a fee of £1.75 million being set at a tribunal.[6] He was a prolific goalscorer with Stoke under-18s in 2016–17 as he helped them reach the FA Youth Cup semi-final.[7] He was promoted to train with the first team in February 2018 after impressing manager Paul Lambert in training.[8]

Campbell made his professional debut on 24 February 2018 in a 1–1 draw at Leicester City in the Premier League.[9] He made a further three substitute appearances towards the end of the 2017–18 season as Stoke were relegated to the EFL Championship.[10] He made his first start for Stoke on 15 January 2019 in a FA Cup match against Shrewsbury Town, scoring twice in a 3–2 defeat.[11]

On 31 January 2019, Campbell was loaned to Shrewsbury for the remainder of the EFL League One season.[12] He made his debut two days later in a 3–0 home loss to Luton Town, in which he started and was substituted for Stefan Payne after 63 minutes.[13] He scored his first league goal on 16 February, opening a 1–1 home draw with Burton Albion.[14] He played 15 times for the Shrews, scoring five goals and helping them secure League One safety.[15] His performances for Shrewsbury earned him the EFL Young Player of the Month award for February 2019.[16][17]

Campbell scored his first Championship goal on 19 October 2019 in a 2–0 win against Fulham.[18] He made little impact under Nathan Jones, mainly used as a substitute.[19] Following the arrival of Michael O'Neill in November 2019, he worked his way back into the side and scored vital goals against Sheffield Wednesday, Huddersfield Town and West Bromwich Albion, helping Stoke move out the relegation zone at the turn of the new year.[20][21][22]

Campbell signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract with Stoke on 24 January 2020, after turning down offers from a number of other clubs.[23] The season extended into June due to the COVID-19 pandemic and he played in all the remaining matches and scored twice against relegation rivals Barnsley on 4 July 2020.[24] He ended the campaign with nine goals from 37 appearances as Stoke avoided relegation and finished in 15th position.[25]

Campbell began the 2020–21 season in good form, scoring the winning goal against Brentford on 24 October 2020,[26] and scoring twice in a 4–3 victory against Huddersfield Town on 21 November.[27] By the beginning of December, he had scored seven goals and provided five assists in 19 appearances.[28] A knee injury against Cardiff City on 8 December ended his season.[29]

Campbell was out for ten months, returning against Bournemouth on 19 October 2022.[30] He struggled to regain his form in 2021–22, scoring five goals in 30 appearances.[31] In the 2022–23 season, He scored nine goals in 44 appearances as Stoke finished in 16th.[32] In 2023–24, he scored only four goals in 24 appearances, two of which came in the final two games of the season which secured Stoke's Championship status.[33][34] Following the end of the campaign Stoke announced that his contract would not be renewed.[35]

Sheffield United

edit

Campbell joined Sheffield United on 11 August 2024, signing a three-year contract.[36] He scored his first goal on 26 October in a 2–0 home win over his previous club; Stoke City condemned a "small minority" of their fans for chanting about the recent death of Campbell's father.[37]

International career

edit

Having previously represented England at U16 and U17 level, Campbell received his first call-up for the U20 squad on 8 November 2019.[38] he scored twice in a 4–0 victory over Portugal in the U20 Elite League on 14 November 2019.[39]
