Campion played part-time football for HKFC while working as a wine importer. He scored his first league goal in HKFC's 2–4 defeat by Rangers.[1] He scored his second goal against Kitchee in the final match of the season.[2]

Citizen

He gave up his full-time job to concentrate on his football career upon joining Citizen.[3] Campion claimed that he had a stable job working for a wine importer with good income.
