Martin Campbell, Scotland’s top junior last season, faces a slightly uncertain future as he heads towards his senior career.

“I was told I would hear about next season’s funding plans in June, but we’re still waiting so everything is a bit up in the air at the moment,” said the Edinburgh lad who turns 19 at the end of the month. 

But, after a season as a full-timer, he has made the decision to accept a place studying maths and management at Loughborough University and he will be moving south in a couple of months.

That’s also means that his doubles training with Troon’s Angus Gilmour will be a little trickier. Angus is also considering university, but with Glasgow or Leeds as the likely destination. 

“I still want to continue playing at a high level,” said the Bank of Scotland Under-19 Champion in both singles and doubles. “But I will need some sort of funding, otherwise playing in all the tournaments will be pretty difficult.”

One of the highlights for Martin last season was a bronze medal in the singles at the Commonwealth Youth Games. Next year, he would love to be a member of the Scottish Commonwealth Games team for Delhi.
