Andrew Paul Campbell (born 18 April 1979) is an English football manager and former player. He most recently managed Middlesbrough Women.

Playing career[edit]

Middlesbrough[edit]

Born in Middlesbrough, Campbell started his career with his hometown team Middlesbrough, making his debut on 5 April 1996, coming on as a substitute in a 3–1 win over Sheffield Wednesday.[2] He scored his first goal for the club on 15 October 1997, in a 2–0 win against Sunderland in the League Cup.[3] After loan spells with Sheffield United and Bolton Wanderers, he scored against Manchester United in the FA Cup fourth-round, in a 2–0 win for Middlesbrough on 26 January 2002.[4] After spending the rest of the season on loan at Cardiff City, the deal was made permanent for a reported £1 million.

Cardiff City[edit]

His Cardiff career got off to an explosive start, scoring 6 times in his first 4 appearances.[5] He scored once on his debut against Northampton Town,[6] twice on his third appearance against Blackpool[7] and a hat-trick in his fourth appearance against Oldham Athletic.[8] Overall, he had two fairly productive years at the beginning of his spell at Ninian Park, including a fine lob over goalkeeper Chris Day at the Millennium Stadium to give Cardiff a play-off victory over Queens Park Rangers to put them into the Football League Championship.[9] However, he struggled in his remaining years and after loan spells with Doncaster Rovers and Oxford United,[10] he joined Scottish Premier League club Dunfermline Athletic, making his debut on 28 January 2006, in a 1–1 draw against Motherwell.[11]

Later career[edit]

Campbell signed for Halifax Town on a free transfer on 8 August 2006,[12] although his season was interrupted by a serious knee injury. He made a good start to the following season, netting a brace against Altrincham in the second game of the season, and then a hat-trick against Droylsden later in the month.[13]

He left Halifax after the club folded at the end of the 2007–08 season. In July 2008, he joined Farsley Celtic on trial. After scoring some good goals in pre-season, he was signed on a permanent deal.[14] Six months later, he left Farsley to join another West Yorkshire side Bradford Park Avenue.[15] He scored in his first start with Avenue as they defeated Marine 4–0.[16]

He subsequently joined Whitby Town.

International career[edit]

Campbell made his England under-21 debut on 29 March 2000, scoring the opening goal in a 3–0 win over Yugoslavia, securing qualification to the 2000 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. He made two appearances during the group stage of the tournament, first against Turkey, scoring the last goal of a 6–0 win, and against Slovakia.[17]

He made his last appearance for the under-21's during a friendly against Georgia at the Riverside Stadium.[18]

Managerial career[edit]

In June 2012 Campbell was appointed manager of Norton & Stockton Ancients.[19] In June 2015 he was appointed manager of West Auckland Town.[20] In August 2021 he was appointed manager of Middlesbrough Women.[21] On 4 April 2023 Campbell left the club with immediate affect.
