He began his career at Nacional, playing 114 games and earning promotion from the second tier twice.

Club career

Born in Funchal, Madeira, Campos played from the age of 8 at hometown side C.D. Nacional. He made his professional debut on 9 January 2013 in a dead rubber Taça da Liga group fixture against G.D. Estoril Praia, in which he was one of three young debutants in a 1–0 home win. [2] Eighteen days later, he made his Primeira Liga debut in a 2–0 away victory over Vitória de Setúbal, as a 56th-minute substitute for Miguel Rodrigues. [3]

Campos featured rarely for Nacional over the ensuing years. After their relegation in 2017, he played all but one games the following season to promote immediately as champions, [4] and scored his only goal for the Alvinegros on 18 March to open a 3–0 defeat of Varzim S.C. at the Estádio da Madeira. [5] On 15 July 2020, having appeared in just three matches as the club was promoted again, he rescinded his contract. [6]

On 16 July 2020, Campos signed for C.D. Mafra in the second tier. [7] A year later, he moved to G.D. Chaves of the same league. [8]

Campos remained in the second division the following three seasons, first on a contract at S.C.U. Torreense. [9] On 23 August 2024, he agreed to a one-year deal with Portimonense S.C. with the possibility of a one-year extension. [10]
