Killian Phillips, born on 30 March 2002 (age 24), is a Republic of Ireland midfielder whose senior career is now tied most firmly to St Mirren. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.90m) centre midfielder, he wears squad number 88 and has built his record in Paisley rather than drifting around the edges of the game.
St Mirren has been the substantial spell of his career so far. Across three league seasons, Phillips has made 75 league appearances and scored 11 goals. His most productive campaign came in 2024-25, when he scored four times in 35 league matches – solid output from the middle of the park without anyone needing to reach for the bunting.
In 2026-27, he has started sharply in front of goal, with three goals in three league appearances for St Mirren. He has also made five League Cup appearances, scoring once, alongside four Scottish Cup appearances and two Premiership play-off appearances, with another goal. Across all competitions for St Mirren this season, that gives him 14 appearances and five goals.
Phillips has also been involved with the Republic of Ireland this season, making one appearance in World Cup qualifying and one in the Nations League. His career to date is a straightforward one: an Irish midfielder whose senior football has been shaped above all by St Mirren, with a growing club record and recent international involvement.
