Andrew Paul "Andy" Campbell (born April 18 1979) is an English footballer, who is on trial at Farsley Celtic.

Career

Born in Middlesbrough, Campbell started his career with his hometown team Middlesbrough, whom he left for Cardiff City for £1m. One of his career highlights includes scoring against Manchester United in the FA Cup in a 2–0 win for Middlesbrough. 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. However he struggled in his remaining years and left the club with the nickname "Andy Shambles".

He moved to Halifax Town in 2006, and made a good start to his season by netting a brace against Altrincham in the second game of this season and then a hat-trick against Droylsden later in the year.

He left Halifax after their relegation from the Conference in 2007–08. In July 2008, he joined Farsley Celtic on trial. [cite news
