[edit] Footballing career
Campion started his career as a youth team player at Birmingham City, before being released in 2007 following City's return to the Premier League.
Campion had trials with Shrewsbury Town and Hereford United, but failed to earn a contract with the League Two clubs. Campion then had a trail with League One outfit Carlisle United, where unlike with his two previous trails, impressed Cumbrians manager Greg Abbott, to sign the defender on a short term contract until December 2007, where he will act as cover for Zigor Aranalde at left-back.[1] Campion impressed in training and reserve games enough to earn a contract until the end of 2007-08 season[citation needed] and he made his Carlisle United début on 26 April 2008 at Millwall as a 59th minuite substitute replacing Scott Dobie, Carlisle lost the game 3-0.[2] He was released from his contract by Greg Abbott in January 2009 after he had made derogatory comments about the City on a social networking site.[3]
He returned to the West Midlands, turning out for Blue Square North side Solihull Moors in 2009 before finishing the 2009-2010 season at local rivals Redditch United
Joined Hednesford in October 2010, making his debut for the Pitmen in a 2-1 F.A. Trophy defeat to Whitby Town
