Club career
Born in Mislata, Valencian Community, Campos was a Levante UD youth graduate, and made his senior debut with the reserves on 15 January 2006 by starting in a 0–0 Segunda División B home draw against CE Sabadell FC. On 30 July 2008, after loans at SC Requena and Ontinyent CF, he terminated his contract with the Granotas and joined Real Murcia;[1] but only appeared for their B-team.
Campos left Murcia in 2010, and subsequently represented Cádiz CF,[2] Albacete Balompié[3] and CD Guadalajara in the third division.[4] On 19 September 2014, he signed for CD Castellón in Tercera División,[5]
On 30 July 2016, Campos agreed to a contract with Lleida Esportiu in the third division.[6] On 17 August of the following year, he returned to former side Ontinyent, in the same category.[7]
On 2 July 2018, Campos returned to Castellón on a two-year deal, with the side now in the division three.[8] Roughly one year later, he renewed his contract until 2022,[9] and contributed with 30 appearances in the 2019–20 season (play-offs included) as his side achieved promotion to Segunda División after a ten-year absence.
Campos made his professional debut on 12 September 2020 at the age of 33, starting in a 2–1 away win against SD Ponferradina but being substituted by Óscar Whalley due to an injury.[10]
