AFL career


Campbell was recruited by the Western Bulldogs in the 2012 Rookie Draft, with pick #27. He made his debut in Round 13, 2012, against Brisbane Lions at Docklands, having been promoted to the senior list to replace the suspended ruckman Will Minson.
After being delisted by the Bulldogs at the conclusion of the 2018 AFL season, Campbell joined North Melbourne as a rookie in the AFL's new supplemental selection period (SSP). On his debut for North Melbourne, senior coach Brad Scott described Campbell as a fierce competitor who gives his all for the team. Campbell reached his 50th AFL game during the 2021 season, where he was lauded by his teammates and coaches for his leadership and guidance while playing tandem in the ruck with Todd Goldstein. Campbell was delisted by the Kangaroos in October 2021, but signed with St Kilda as a delisted free agent the following month. He made his St Kilda debut against Port Adelaide at Cazalys stadium, Cairns during round 7 of the 2022 season.
Considered a strong clubman and mentor to younger players, Campbell won the Saints 2023 Best Clubman Award, with the Saints’ Executive General Manager of Football describing Campbell’s impact on the club as ‘profound.’
Campbell was delisted by the Saints at the conclusion of the 2024 season. He was soon after signed by Melbourne as a delisted free agent for the 2025 season, in order to assist Melbourne’s All-Australian ruckman Max Gawn.
