Campbell makes Birmingham switch
Birmingham have swooped to sign Brentford’s FA Cup hero DJ Campbell in a deal which could eventually be worth £1m to the League One club.
Campbell has put pen to paper on a three-year contract which will keep him at Blues until 2009.
Blues boss Steve Bruce has been tracking Campbell, signed by the Bees in the summer from non-league Yeading, for the past six weeks.
The 24-year-old grabbed both goals for Brentford in Saturday’s memorable 2-1 fourth round triumph over Premiership Sunderland at Griffin Park.
But it was his last game for the club and now Bruce is hoping he can complement Emile Heskey, Chris Sutton and Mikael Forssell with his pace and finishing power in the top flight.
Birmingham will pay an initial £500,000 for Campbell but the fee could double depending on appearances and his achievements with the midlands club.
