Lloyd Campbell-McBride (born 27 March 1982 in Australia) is a former rugby union player for Glasgow Warriors at the Loosehead Prop position.[1]

He was signed by Glasgow Warriors by coach Hugh Campbell on a short-term deal lasting for four months.[2][3] This was a short-term deal to cover injury to Glasgow's Ben Prescott.

He was signed from Queensland Reds and registered for Glasgow's Heineken Cup squad that year.[2][4] The prop was Welsh-qualified.[5]

Previously Campbell-McBride played his club rugby in Australia with Easts.[1]

While he was with the Warriors he was involved in training the amateur club Ayr RFC in scrummaging.[6]

Unfortunately the recurrence of a sternum injury meant that Campbell-McBride did not play for the Warriors.[7] This was unfortunate both for the player and the club; it happened just before Glasgow's Heineken Cup trip to Bourgoin, France. The Warriors had only 25 players fit for the European match - and this included the academy players John Barclay and Stuart Corsar, who were named in the 23.[8]

As a result of this injury Campbell-McBride's short-term contract wasn't extended and he returned to Australia to play again with the Queensland Country side East Coast Aces.[9][10] He then moved to Easts.[11][12]
