Club career

Born in Binissalem, Balearic Islands and a product of local RCD Mallorca's youth academy, Campos appeared twice for the first team in late 2004/early 2005, both as a substitute and at home, against Atlético Madrid (1–1)[1] and Deportivo de La Coruña (2–2).[2] He subsequently represented Levante UD B, Écija Balompié, Real Murcia[3] and CD Castellón,[4] the latter two clubs in Segunda División.

In the summer of 2010, Campos signed with Gimnàstic de Tarragona also in the second level.[5] After being relegated in his second season he renewed his contract with the Catalans for another year, and was also appointed team captain.

Campos made his 100th league appearance for Nàstic on 8 September 2013, in a 1–0 home win over RCD Espanyol B.[6] On 11 July 2016, after falling down the pecking order, the 34-year-old moved to SD Ponferradina.[7]

On 29 June 2017, Campos terminated his Ponfe deal and returned to Mallorca after 12 years away.[8] He was part of their teams that earned two consecutive promotions to reach La Liga at the end of the 2018–19 campaign.[9]
