Jamal Campbell-Ryce
Jamal Julian Campbell-Ryce is a former professional footballer who played as a winger. He is currently the Assistant Coach of Real Monarchs, the second team of Major League Soccer club Real Salt Lake.
Born in Lambeth, Greater London he began his career with Charlton Athletic in 2001 from where he has moved to a number of clubs, including Rotherham United, Southend United, Barnsley, Bristol City and Notts County before joining Sheffield United in 2014. He is also a former Jamaican international, qualifying through his parentage.
Career
Campbell-Ryce played a handful of games for Southend United in the 05/06 season during a loan deal from Rotherham United. However, the deal turned sour, and left him in the limbo so Rotherham recalled him and sent him to Colchester United to get some first team football. The tricky winger has also played for Charlton Athletic, Chesterfield, Wimbledon, Colchester and Leyton Orient.Campbell-Ryce joined Southend in the summer of 2006 after a deal was agreed between Southend and Rotherham. As both Southend and Colchester were promoted to the Championship at the end of the 2005–06 season, and Campbell-Ryce had played for both clubs during the season, he had the unusual privilege of touring both towns on open-top bus victory parades on successive days.
Barnsley
In early August in 2007, Southend rejected a £250,000 bid from Barnsley for Campbell-Ryce, though he finally completed his move to Barnsley on the deadline day for an undisclosed fee.He scored his first Barnsley goal on 29 December 2007 in the 2–2 draw with Southampton, cutting in from the right and unleashing a rising piledriver into the top corner. On 26 January 2008, Campbell-Ryce scored the winner in Barnsley's 1–0 away win against his former club Southend in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
In October, Campbell-Ryce signed a new three-year deal at Oakwell, keeping him with Barnsley until the summer of 2011.
In February 2009, he scored at Hillsborough to sink Sheffield Wednesday and complete the first double over the Owls for 63 years and the Reds' first win there since 1983. On 3 May 2009 he scored the winner in a 2–1 win over Plymouth Argyle, a result which kept the club in the Championship.
Bristol City
On 19 January 2010, Campbell-Ryce signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with fellow Championship club Bristol City for an undisclosed fee. He made his debut in a 0–6 loss against Cardiff City on 26 January. Manager Keith Millen often used Campbell-Ryce as a wingback in his 3–5–2 formation. He scored his first goal for the club in the 3–0 win over Cardiff City, just under a year after signing. Campbell-Ryce established himself in the first team, playing regularly until Millen was replaced by Derek McInnes. Under McInnes' management, Campbell-Ryce started only two first-team games.In order to get playing time in the first-team, Campbell-Ryce joined League One club Leyton Orient on loan until the end of the season, his second spell at the club. On 10 March 2012, Campbell-Ryce made his debut in a 2–0 loss against Tranmere Rovers and scored his first goal since his return in a 2–1 loss against Hartlepool United on 28 April 2012. He was released by Bristol City on 1 May 2012.
