Killian Phillips, born on 30 March 2002 (age 24), is a Republic of Ireland midfielder whose senior career has come to be shaped mainly by St Mirren. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m), he plays primarily in central midfield and wears squad number 88.
There have been other stops along the way, including a League Cup win elsewhere in his career, but the real substance has come in Paisley. Across three league seasons with St Mirren, Phillips has made 81 league appearances and scored 11 goals. His most productive league campaign was 2024–25, when he scored four times in 35 appearances.
He remains part of the St Mirren first-team picture in 2026–27 rather than a name living off earlier promise. This season he has made nine league appearances and scored three goals, with further involvement in the League Cup, Scottish Cup and Premiership play-offs taking him to 20 appearances and five goals in all competitions for the club.
Phillips has also been involved with the Republic of Ireland this season, appearing in World Cup qualifying and the Nations League. His career is still developing, but at this stage it is plainly St Mirren that provides the main body of work.
