SEB CAMPBELL
Full Name: Sebastian Roger Campbell

First game: 23 September 2025 Last game: 10 March 2026

Born in Barnstaple, Campbell is a former student of Coombeshead Academy in Newton Abbot and also played for Kingsteignton-based Saints Southwest before becoming a first-year apprentice at Home Park for the 2025-26 season.
He had been a key part of Argyle's under-18 midfield during the 2024-25 season, which saw the team enjoy success in both the Youth Alliance League South and the FA Youth Cup, reaching the quarter-finals before losing 3-0 to Aston Villa at Villa Park.
His energy and versatility were also on show at under-16 and under-18 level, where he scored goals and provided assists across a number of competitions.
Impressing new manager Tom Cleverley early on, he featured as a non-playing substitute for the two League Cup matches at home to QPR and away at Swansea City in August 2025, before Argyle were eliminated on penalties in the latter. However, his wait for a first-team bow was not to last much longer, as he was again named on the bench for an EFL Trophy tie at home to Tottenham Hotspur's under-21s in late September 2025. With Argyle 4-0 up and cruising at half-time, he was brought on to replace Law McCabe.
Having already seen an effort excellently saved by the Spurs goalkeeper, he was not to be denied again and what happened next was the stuff of dreams. With four minutes remaining, he buried a shot powerfully into the net, scoring on his first-team debut and becoming the youngest player to score for the club, aged 16 years and 279 days. This beat the record held by Darren Bastow by 37 days, a mark that had stood since 1998 - 27 years in the making.
In March 2026 he made his Football League debut as a late substitute in a 3-0 away win at Wigan Athletic. Later that month, ahead of the home match against Huddersfield Town, where he retained his place on the bench for the fourth successive game, he signed his first professional contract with the club.
