Campbell was born at Portsmouth in November 1999. He grew up in Petersfield, where he was educated nearby at Churcher's College.[1] He initially played club cricket in his youth for Steep Cricket Club, before being spotted by Liphook and Ripsley Cricket Club and progressing through the academy at Hampshire.[1] At the age of 18, Campbell moved to Newcastle to live with relatives while studying at Durham University.[1] While studying at Durham, he played for Chester-le-Street in the North East Premier League and earned a call-up to the England under-19 cricket team,[2] making a single appearance for the under-19s against South Africa under-19's at Gosforth in 2018.[3] The following season, he made two appearances in first-class cricket for Durham MCCU, against Durham and Northamptonshire. In that same season, he played for Durham against Leicestershire in the County Championship.[4]

Two years would elapse before Campbell made any further first team appearances for Durham, with him making five appearances in List A one-day cricket in the 2021 Royal London One-Day Cup and two appearances in the 2021 Vitality Blast.[5][6] Campbell left Durham midway through the 2022 season, citing a need "to explore new opportunities".[7] He returned to Hampshire on loan during the 2022 season, making one first-class appearance against a Sri Lanka Cricket Development XI,[4] in addition to appearing nine times in the Royal London One-Day Cup.[5] In his nine one-day appearances, he took 17 wickets with his left-arm medium-fast bowling at an average of 21.76, with best figures of 4 for 44.[8] He performed well enough in the 2022 Royal London One-Day Cup to be awarded a one-year contract by Hampshire,[1][9] however he did not appear for Hampshire in 2023 and was released at the end of that season, alongside Harry Petrie.[10]
