Stuart Pearson Campbell (born 9 December 1977) is an Anglo-Scottish footballer who plays as a midfielder. Though English-born, he has 14 caps for Scotland at under-21 level, qualifying through his parents.[citation needed] He plays for Bristol Rovers and is the club captain. [edit] CareerCampbell was born in Corby, Northamptonshire. As a youth he played for hometown club Corby Town[1], before joining Leicester City, for whom he made his first-team debut in 1996 aged 18.[2] Though manager Martin O'Neill rated him as an outstanding prospect,[3] he averaged less than ten Premier League appearances a season for Leicester, mostly as a substitute. In 2000 he was loaned to First Division club Birmingham City, where he played two games before returning to Leicester.[4] New Grimsby Town manager Lennie Lawrence made Campbell his first signing in September 2000, landing the winger on a three-month loan deal which was later extended to a season loan.[5] After impressing while on loan at Blundell Park, Campbell was allowed to join Grimsby permanently for a fee of £200,000, where he signed a three-year contract.[6] Campbell played under three different managers at Grimsby, Lennie Lawrence, Paul Groves and Nicky Law. His six goals in the 2002–03 season was enough to make him the club's joint top scorer;[7] they were relegated from the First Division after a five-year stay in the second tier of English football.[8] Campbell's contract expired at the end of the next season, and with the club again relegated, he decided against an offer to stay with Grimsby and signed for Bristol Rovers of Football League Two.[9] Appointed captain in November 2006,[10] Campbell led Bristol Rovers to the final of the Football League Trophy[11] and promotion to League One[12] in the 2006–07 season. He signed a two-year contract extension in May 2007.[13] Campbell and team-mate Craig Hinton started studying for coaching qualifications in 2008.[14] Campbell then led the team to the quarter finals of the FA Cup in the 2007–08 season and became one of the most popular skippers at the club.
