He had brief loan spells at Whitehawk and Bishop's Stortford, before helping Cheltenham Town to win the National League whilst on a season-long loan during the 2015–16 campaign.

Club career

Phillips signed for the Charlton Athletic academy when he was eight years old.[3] He signed his first professional forms in the summer of 2013 at the age of 17 and joined Conference South side Whitehawk on a one-month loan on 8 November 2013.[4] He returned to the Conference South on a one-month loan with Bishop's Stortford on 3 January 2015.[5] He joined National League club Cheltenham Town on a six-month loan in July 2015.[6] He started every game for the "Robins", keeping ten clean sheets in 26 games, and had his loan extended until the end of the 2015–16 season.[7] He picked up an injury in March 2016, and missed the end-of-season run-in as Cheltenham secured promotion as National League champions.[8] He signed a new two-year contract with Charlton in May 2016.[9]

On 16 October 2020, Phillips joined Cardiff City for an undisclosed fee.[10]

On 27 July 2022, Phillips joined Belgian First Division A side Oostende on a season-long loan deal.[11] At the end of the 2022–23 season, he was released by Cardiff.[12]
