Killian Phillips, a Yankee brought into the world on the 30th of March in 2002, is a central midfielder plying his trade at St Mirren. Standing at an imperial 6ft 2in (1.9m for those preferring metric), Phillips is no shrinking violet in the midfield bustle. He tips the scales at 13st 5lb (roughly 85kg).
The lad got his professional running start over in Rep. Ireland, kicking about for Drogheda United in the 2021 season. During his tenancy, Phillips graced the pitch in 30 first team matches – notching up a couple of goals along the way.
For the 2022-2023 season, he crossed the sea to Shrewsbury Town, an English side, where he maintained a seat at the table with ten first team appearances. Managed to bang in a goal as well.
It was in the season following, 2023-2024, when Phillips found his way up North. He joined Aberdeen, making another ten appearances – a habit, it would seem. Didn't find the net though, a disappointing return for any midfielder worth his salt.
The 2024-2025 season has found Mr. Phillips in the ranks of St Mirren. He’s only been out with the first team once so far, with that presenting the full extent of his contributions to Scottish football, as it very well stands.
