José Campaña

José Ángel Gómez Campaña (born 31 May 1993) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for club Las Palmas.

He was promoted to the main squad by newly appointed coach Marcelino García Toral, for the 2011 pre-season.

Campaña made his debut for the first team on 25 August 2011, playing ten minutes in a 1–1 home draw against Hannover 96 in that season's UEFA Europa League (2–3 aggregate loss), in place of Piotr Trochowski.

He made his first La Liga appearance three days later, replacing Manu del Moral in a 2–1 home win over Málaga CF.

In his first year, Campaña appeared in 18 official games to help Sevilla to the ninth place.

In the 2011 edition, hosted in Romania, he played three games, including the final against the Czech Republic.

In 2012, Campaña helped the national side renew their continental supremacy in Estonia by appearing in all five matches and starting in four, three as captain.

He missed, however, his penalty shootout attempt in the semi-finals against France (4–2, 3–3 after 120 minutes).

In March 2013, after undergoing surgery to a fracture in his left foot, he was sidelined for the rest of the campaign.

On 13 July 2013, Premier League club Crystal Palace had a €2 million bid accepted by Sevilla.

Four days later, after passing his medical, he signed for four years.

He made his debut on 24 August, in a 2–1 defeat at Stoke City.

On 31 January 2014, Campaña joined the Bundesliga's 1. FC Nürnberg, on loan for the remainder of the season with a view to a permanent move.

He made his debut in the competition on 16 February, playing the entire second half in a 1–0 away victory over FC Augsburg.

Campaña scored his first goal for the German side on 23 March 2014, but in a 2–5 home loss against Eintracht Frankfurt.

He finished the campaign with 591 minutes of action and five starts, with his team being relegated; he subsequently returned to Palace, being one of the retained players.

On 22 July 2014, Campaña joined Serie A side UC Sampdoria for an undisclosed fee.

However, on 1 September, he was loaned to Portuguese club FC Porto in a season-long deal, becoming the seventh Spaniard brought in by manager Julen Lopetegui in three months.

Campaña signed with AD Alcorcón on 17 July 2015, on loan for one year.

Developed at Sevilla, for whom he appeared in 24 competitive matches, he went on to represent mainly Levante after signing in 2016.

He also played for clubs in England, Germany and Portugal.

Campaña won two European Under-19 Championships with Spain.

On 11 August 2016, Campaña agreed to a four-year deal with Levante UD, recently relegated to the second tier.

He played regularly in his first season, as the club from Valencia won promotion as champions.

In April 2019, when he had one year remaining on his contract, Campaña extended his link until 2023.

He made his senior debut in 2020.

Born in Seville, Andalusia, Campaña reached Sevilla FC's youth system at the age of seven, and made his senior debut at only 16, going on to play in two Segunda División B seasons with the reserves.

He missed the vast majority of 2020–21, due to injury problems.

On 22 April 2023, Campaña suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in a match against Las Palmas, in what would be his final match for Levante, as his contract was allowed to expire in the summer.

He was with the club for seven seasons, including five in La Liga.

During his recovery, Campaña was allowed to use the facilities at Levante, despite not being under contract with the club.

On 14 February 2024, Campaña signed for UD Las Palmas until the end of the top-flight campaign, with an option to extend.

Campaña represented Spain in two UEFA European Under-19 Championship tournaments.

In October 2020, Campaña was first called up to the senior team for matches with Portugal, Switzerland and Germany.

He won his first cap against the first opponent, playing the second half of a 0–0 friendly draw in Lisbon.
