Killian Phillips earns first senior Republic of Ireland call-up
Crystal Palace Academy midfielder Killian Phillips has been called up to the Republic of Ireland senior side for the very first time.
He initially joined Palace in January 2022 from Drogheda United and went on to make his professional debut for the club at the start of the 2022/23 season against Oxford United in the League Cup.
The 23-year-old has had loan spells at Shrewsbury Town, where he won the club’s Young Player of the Year award, Wycombe Wanderers and Aberdeen before the most recent move to St Mirren earlier this summer.
He has represented The Republic of Ireland at multiple levels of youth football, most recently for the Under-21s in their 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers, but now he will be a part of Heimir Hallgrímsson’s side as they prepare for friendlies against Senegal and Luxembourg in June.
Keep up with how Phillips gets on here, and on our Official Academy X Account.
