Jamal Campbell Ryce (born 6 April 1983 in Lambeth, London) is an English-Jamaican professional footballer currently playing for English Championship club Barnsley. He is a a Jamaican international, qualifying through his parents who hail from the Caribbean Isle.

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 local rivals 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 2005-6 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.

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.^[1]
