Campbell was a wicket-keeper who batted at number eleven. He played his first first-class match for Hawke's Bay against the touring Australians in February 1921. In Australia's only innings he took two catches and allowed 27 byes.[1] It was Hawke's Bay's last match with first-class status. The next season he was selected to play for North Island against South Island when Richard Rowntree was unavailable.[2] This time Campbell allowed 45 byes in the match (out of South Island's combined two-innings total of 424) and took no catches. It was his last first-class match.[3]
