Campbell began his career playing school boy football for Clarendon College.[2] After completing secondary school, Campbell then played for University of Central Arkansas in the USA.[3] Campbell transferred to the UConn Huskies at the University of Connecticut in August 2012.[4]

On 15 January 2015, Campbell was selected by the Columbus Crew in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft.[5][6] Campbell was the 19th pick in the First Round of the draft. In late January, Campbell was the center of a dispute between his former club Portmore United and MLS. The Jamaican club want training compensation as Campbell was trained by United prior to moving to the United States.[7] Campbell is the nephew of Rodolph Austin.[7] On 12 February 2016 Campbell was waived by Columbus.[8] On 1 April 2016 Campbell was cleared to play for the Pittsburgh Riverhounds.[9][10]

He made his international debut for Jamaica in 2010, coming on as a second half substitute against Guyana in Group I of the 2010 Caribbean Cup. In the next match of the Caribbean Cup, against Grenada in the semi-final, he received a red card after coming on as an extra-time substitute.[2][11][12]
