At senior club level he played solely for Morton, his hometown team, but was forced to retire due to ill health in January 1949, only eight months after he took part in the 1948 Scottish Cup Final, lost to Rangers after a replay.
Campbell represented Scotland five times (missing out on a sixth cap when his only pair of boots broke just prior to a match against France in Paris); he also featured in five unofficial wartime internationals.
