Killian Phillips, born on 30 March 2002 (age 24), is a Republic of Ireland midfielder whose senior career has come to be shaped largely by St Mirren. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m), he plays primarily in central midfield and wears squad number 88.
St Mirren has been the substantial part of the story. Across three league seasons he has made 75 league appearances and scored 11 goals, a decent return from midfield rather than a statistical curiosity. His strongest league campaign came in 2024-25, when he scored four times in 35 appearances.
The 2026-27 season has started briskly enough: three goals in three league appearances, along with one goal in five League Cup matches and one in two Premiership play-off games. He has also played four Scottish Cup matches, taking him to 14 appearances and five goals for St Mirren across all competitions this season.
Phillips has also been involved with the Republic of Ireland this season, making one appearance in European World Cup qualifying. At club level, his career is still developing, but the outline is plain enough: an Irish central midfielder whose meaningful senior work, and best output so far, has come at St Mirren.
