Adam Campbell (born 25 January 1985) is an Australian rules footballer for the Fremantle Football Club in the Australian Football League.

Fremantle Dockers

Coming from a rugby union background in the town of Hamilton, Campbell represented Mid Canterbury in rugby at junior level before moving to Australia at age 16 where he began playing Aussie rules in 2001, quickly proving a standout talent in country football, playing full forward at the North Ballarat Rebels.

Nominated as the overall No. 27 selection at the 2003 national draft, he is a key position prospect who spent the 2004 & 2005 seasons as a development player at West Perth in the WAFL.

Adam debuted in Round 10, 2006 against Richmond, but it would be his only appearance for Fremantle in the year, with Ryan Murphy being preferred as the second key forward behind Matthew Pavlich.

2007 saw Cambpell perform well during the pre-season and he has been selected for a further 4 games, included Round 7 against Hawthorn at Subiaco Oval, where Campbell scored a career high 4 goals.

A knee injury in round 13 sidelined him for a few games.

From round 19, Campbell returned and found some excellent form, kicking multiple goals in several games. [ [http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,21598,24201252-5005401,00.html Fremantle Docker Adam Campbell focused on the future] from perthnow]
