At Everton between 2019 - 2020
On Friday 5th July 2019, striker Kieran Phillips signed his first professional contract with Everton.
Phillips scored 12 goals in 11 appearances for the Everton U-18s in the 2018-19 campaign, including a hat-trick against Manchester City, and earned a one-year deal.
“I’m so happy to sign a first pro contract for a big club with such a great history.”
“It’s a great place to be as a young player. We’ve got a very good bunch of lads. Training is intense and we are all striving to make each other better."
“The coaches are brilliant, too. They push you to be your best. This season, I want to keep developing and try to play as many games as I can for the Under-23s.”
It wasn't all an easy path for Phillips, as in 2016, he suffered a double knee fracture, and there were doubts about his future, with surgeons concerned that one of his knee’s was going to collapse.
It took over 2 years for Kieran to recover from his injury, which proves what a determined young man he is.
On 31st January 2020, Phillips joined Huddersfield Town on loan until the end of the 2019-20 season.
On 25th June 2020, Everton announced that Kieran had been released. On 13th July 2020, he signed a one year deal with Huddersfield Town.
Good luck from all at Love Everton Forum.
