Fraizer Campbell

Huddersfield-born Fraizer Campbell is an agile striker with pace and determination, who possesses the ability to poach goals and create them himself through his speed and skill.

“My speed and athleticism are my main assets,” Fraizer says, assessing his own game. “I like to drop off and turn with the ball so I can run at defenders.”

Campbell was top scorer for the Academy Under-18s as a first year scholar in 2004/05, scoring 14 goals in 22 starts as the Reds finished second in the Premier Academy League Group C.

His performances at youth level led to him being called

up to the Reserves, where he played five games and scored once.

The following season he scored nine goals in 14 starts for the Academy, but began to make an impact on the Reserves, reaching the same total as his academy haul while United’s second string marched to a Premier Reserve League, Play-off shield and Manchester Senior Cup treble.

But, the most significant stride personally came when he was handed the No.51 squad number in November 2005. He was an unused substitute in United’s 0-0 FA Cup third round stalemate with Burton Albion in January 2006. He signed professional forms two months later on 22 March.

Campbell was also a second half substitute in Roy Keane’s testimonial match against Celtic at Old Trafford on 9 May 2006.

Fraizer embarked on a loan move to Royal Antwerp at the start of the 2006/07 season, and quickly became a favourite with the fans, who nicknamed him 'Super Campbell'.

His goalscoring exploits in Belgium underlined his rapid development, and there are clear signs that Fraizer is realising his massive potential.
