Early life[edit]

Born to Grenadian parents, Phillip started his career with Toronto Eagles SC at the age of 4.[1] He later joined North Mississauga SC, with whom he won a U15 Ontario Cup.[2]

Playing career[edit]

Having joined Toronto FC Academy, he was called up to Toronto FC II, the feeder club of the MLS side, in 2015. Phillip made his professional debut in a 2–2 draw against Charlotte Independence on August 30, 2015.[3] He scored his first senior goal a week later, netting two goals in a 3–2 win over FC Montreal on September 5, 2015 in his first professional start,[4] which earned USL Team of the Week honours.[5] Phillip was called up to the Toronto FC II once again for the 2016 USL season.

In the fall of 2017, Phillip made a move to play with Indian Hills Community College, a National Junior College Athletic Association school, helping them to qualify for their first national tournament appearance in program history.[6][7] He was named to the ICCAC All-Conference team after leading the conference in assists with 16 (6ht highest in the nation) to go along with 12 goals.[8] He was named a 2017 United Soccer Coaches Junior College Division I Second Team All-American.[7]

In 2018, he played for Master's FA in League1 Ontario.[9] In 2019, he switched to play for the Oakville Blue Devils.[10] In 2021, he began the season with the Blue Devils for one match, before returning to Master's where he scored 11 regular season goals to be named East Division MVP and a East 1st team All-Star,[11] also scoring a brace in a penalty kick shootout loss in the playoff semi-finals to eventual champions, Guelph United.[12]

In 2022, he signed with the expansion side Simcoe County Rovers of League1 Ontario.[13]

In 2023, he joined ProStars FC.[14]

International career[edit]

In 2010, he was part of a U12 Canada East squad that faced Canada West to try to represent the nation at the Danone Nations Cup in South Africa.[15] In 2014, Phillip was first involved in an official Canadian youth camp as a 16-year-old.[1]
