As team captain, Campbell was part of a delegation to Croke Park who staged a sit-in as part of their effort to free manager Eamonn Campbell from suspension for the 2009 Lory Meagher Cup final against Tyrone.[4]

Campbell won the 2013 Nicky Rackard Cup with Donegal, appearing as a late substitute in the final against Roscommon.[5]

He played for Donegal during the 2018 National Hurling League, when the county recorded their first competitive victories over Derry and Down (though he did not feature in the Down game).[1][6][7] Donegal also defeated Armagh in the closing game of that league campaign, with Campbell appearing as a late substitute.[8] They went on to win the 2018 Nicky Rackard Cup, with Campbell again appearing as late substitute in the final.[9]
