Early life and junior football
Campbell was raised in the north-western Tasmanian town of Burnie.[1] He took up football at under 12s level with the Burnie Dockers and went on to play with the club's senior side in 2021.[2][3] In the same year he played representative under 18 football for the Tasmania Devils in the NAB League and for his state at the AFL Under 17 Championships.[4][5]
Campbell joined North Launceston in the Tasmanian Football League in 2022, the premier adult men's competition in the state.[6] He scored a 10-goal haul in his third senior game for the club, as part of a 122-victory over North Hobart in mid-August.[7][4] During the same year he once again played representative under 18 football for the Tasmania Devils in the NAB League, where he kicked 16 goals over 13 matches, including three goals in a win over the NT Thunder in May[8] Campbell also played with the Allies side at the 2022 AFL Under 18 Championships alongside fellow Tasmanian juniors and those from the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Northern Territory and Queensland.[9] He played three matches at the tournament, including a game against South Australia where he recorded 15 disposals and kicked two goals.[10]
AFL career
2023 season
Campbell was drafted by Richmond with the club's first selection and 12th pick overall in the 2022 rookie draft, after being overlooked through all rounds of the National Draft earlier that week.[10]
He had an interrupted lead in to his first year at Richmond, hampered by overloading of his adductor muscles through the end of March.[11][12] The same groin stress would recur later that year and keep him from featuring in matches through mid-July.[13][14] At season's end, Campbell had failed to make an AFL debut and had played just five matches in the club's reserves side.[1]
2024 season
Campbell made his AFL debut in opening round of the 2024 season.[15] Campbell kicked 2 goals from his 9 disposals on debut in the loss to Gold Coast.[16] In a 2024 season in which Richmond finished last on the ladder, Campbell played 21 games for the year and was awarded with Richmond's Bill Cosgrove/Harry Jenkins Best First Year Player award.[17]
2025 season
In round 1, 2025, Campbell sealed the victory against Carlton with a goal following which he celebrated with a backflip.[18] Two weeks later, Campbell backed up his good form with a career-high three goals against St Kilda.
