Francisco Javier Campos Coll (born 10 March 1982), known as Xisco Campos, is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a central defender or a right-back.

Club career

[edit]

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)[2] and Deportivo de La Coruña (2–2).[3] He subsequently represented Levante UD B, Écija Balompié, Real Murcia CF[4] and CD Castellón, the last two clubs in the Segunda División.[5]

In the summer of 2010, Campos signed with Gimnàstic de Tarragona also of the second tier.[6] After being relegated at the end of the 2011–12 season he renewed his contract with the Catalans for another year, and was also appointed team captain.[7]

Campos made his 100th league appearance for Nàstic on 8 September 2013, in a 1–0 home win over RCD Espanyol B.[8] On 11 July 2016, after falling down the pecking order, the 34-year-old moved to SD Ponferradina.[9][10]

On 29 June 2017, Campos became a free agent and returned to Mallorca after 12 years away.[11] He was part of their teams that earned two consecutive promotions to reach La Liga at the end of the 2018–19 campaign.[12]

Xisco played 11 matches in 2019–20 – nine in the league, two in the Copa del Rey – in an immediate relegation. He was subsequently released,[13] and joined Segunda División B side Pontevedra CF.[14]
