[edit] Career

[edit] College and Amateur

Campos began his career in the youth system of Brazilian team Guarani, for whom he signed at the age of 14. He later went on to play for the youth team of Botafogo prior to moving to the United States.

Campos played college soccer for Oklahoma Baptist University and Fresno Pacific University, and was named to the 2007 NSCAA/adidas NAIA Men's All-America Team, but it was with Fresno Fuego in the USL Premier Development League where Campos truly excelled.

In his first year with Fresno in 2007, he scored 18 goals in 15 appearances, ending the year as the top scorer in the entire PDL^[1], and PDL MVP. After being courted by several Major League Soccer teams in the 2007-08 offseason, notably Real Salt Lake, Campos decided to forego a professional career in the USA, where his salary as a developmental player would have been small, and instead chose to continue his college studies and play for Fresno for one more season; he subsequently scored 14 goals in 10 games for Fresno in the PDL in 2008.

[edit] Professional

Campos was signed by GAIS on 9 July, 2008^[2]. He made his debut for GAIS on 24 September 2008, coming on as a substitute for Björn Andersson in an Allsvenskan game against Gefle^[3], and made his first professional start two weeks later, against Norrköping^[4].

On February 9, 2009, Campos joined the San Jose Earthquakes after the team won a weighted Major League Soccer lottery for his services.^[5] He scored his first professional goal on April 18, 2009, in a 1-1 tie with Los Angeles Galaxy.^[6]

Campos was later traded to Real Salt Lake on July 15, 2009. Campos scored his first Real Salt Lake goal on August 26, 2009 in a home match against Chivas USA at Rio Tinto Stadium. The strike turned out to be the winning goal in a 4-0 RSL triumph. A few days later, he scored the lone goal in Real Salt Lake's 1-0 victory against the Kansas City Wizards - the club's first-ever win in Kansas City.
