The 17-year-old forward has joined the Jags after signing a contract which will run until the end of the 2026/27 season.

Campbell, who plays with Balloan Thistle Under-18’s in the Under-18 Highland League North, has scored 35 goals in all competitions this season.

He also scored twice in Balloan Thistle’s 5-1 SYFA Scottish Cup quarter final win over Spartans last weekend.

Buckie Thistle manager Lewis Mackinnon says he is delighted to secure Campbell’s services, saying he is a promising prospect.

He said: “Over the past couple of months Bodhan has been training with us and from the first session did not look out of place.

“He has been doing very well for Balloan in the youth league and Scottish cup this season, with his scoring and assist stats showing up very well.

Bodhan reminds me of your traditional number nine, he already has a good build for a 17 year old and can certainly finish.

“He is one for the future but we hope to nurture him over the next season or two, and Buckie and Bodhan will reap the rewards all going to plan."
