Campion had trials with Shrewsbury Town and Hereford United, but failed to earn a contract with the League Two clubs. Campion then had a trail with League One outfit Carlisle United, where unlike with his two previous trails, impressed Cumbrians manager Greg Abbott, to sign the defender on a short term contract until December 2007, where he will act as cover for Zigor Aranalde at left-back.^[1] Campion impressed in training and reserve games enough to earn a contract until the end of 2007-08 season^{[citation needed]} and he made his Carlisle United début on 26 April 2008 at Millwall as a 59th minuite substitute replacing Scott Dobie, Carlisle lost the game 3-0.^[2] He was released from his contract by Greg Abbott in January 2009 after he had made derogatory comments about the City on a social networking site.^[3]

He returned to the West Midlands, turning out for Blue Square North side Solihull Moors in 2009 before finishing the 2009-2010 season at local rivals Redditch United
