A former Everton favourite has told one of the club's current strikers it is time to think about finding a new team to continue his career with.
Nathan Broadhead has been on loan at League One side Sunderland this season and has scored 11 goals in 22 appearances for the Black Cats, helping to keep their promotion push on track. But Goodison great Campbell believes that the Welshmen should now look to cut ties with the Toffees and forge a career for himself in the lower leagues.
Speaking to the website Goodison News, Campbell said: “I just don’t see it. I think he’s a good player, but there’s levels to this. Sunderland are a League One [side]. He’s doing really well there, but he hasn’t played Championship before, he’s played League One. And he’s in one of the stronger teams in the league as well, that’s the other thing.

“So let’s see how it goes. I just think the likes of Ellis Simms is in front of him, who’s doing a good job at Hearts. I think at 24, really you’re going to probably have to be looking to leave Everton and going and cutting your teeth somewhere else.”
Broadhead recently scored twice for Sunderland in a 3-2 win against Shrewsbury Town, including a 92-minute winner.
The 5ft 10" forward is a product of Everton's youth academy, representing the club at both under 21 and under 23 level, but has made just one substitute appearance for the first team, against Apollon Limassol in a Europa League match in December 2017.
Broadhead has previously spent a season on loan at Burton Albion but has found his opportunities at Goodison Park to be limited.
