Career

[edit]

Huddersfield Town

[edit]

Born in Pontefract, Phillips started his football career playing for his local club, Huddersfield Town, before moving to Everton's academy at under-13 level. In 2016, he suffered a double knee fracture, which ruled him out for two and a half years.[3]

Phillips returned to Huddersfield Town in January 2020, originally on a loan deal until the end of the 2019–20 season.[4] The deal was made permanent on 13 July 2020, with Phillips signing until the summer of 2021, with the option of a further year's extension.[5] On 10 September, Phillips signed a new contract with the club, running end of the 2021–22 season – again with the option of an additional year.[6]

Phillips made his professional début for Huddersfield on 2 January 2021, when he came on as a substitute in their 2–1 Championship defeat to Reading, replacing Rarmani Edmonds-Green.[7] He made his first senior start for the club in a 3–2 FA Cup Third Round defeat at home to Plymouth Argyle.[8][9]

On 12 July 2021, Phillips joined League Two side Walsall on a season-long loan deal.[10] He signed a new contract with Huddersfield, running until 2025, on 20 January 2022.[11] Phillips was recalled by Huddersfield on 28 January, after scoring five goals in thirty-three appearances across all competitions.[12]

Three days later, Phillips joined League Two club Exeter City on loan, until the end of the 2021–22 season. The move was due to him playing as a winger at Walsall, but Huddersfield seeing his long-term future as a striker – which Exeter were able to cater for. He gained automatic promotion with Exeter this season.[13]

At the start of the 2022–23 season, Phillips joined Morecambe on loan for the season,[14] but his loan was curtailed on 16 January 2023, owing to a long-term injury.[15]

On 24 August 2023, Phillips joined League One side Shrewsbury Town on a season-long loan.[16] He was recalled from his loan spell on 31 January 2024 to continue rehabilitation on an injury which had ruled him out since October.[17]

On 12 April 2024, Phillips joined Huddersfield's sister USL Championship club Sacramento Republic on loan for the remainder of the 2024 season.[18]

Ross County

[edit]

On 6 January 2025, Phillips signed for Scottish Premiership club Ross County on a two-and-a-half year deal for an undisclosed fee.[19]
