Phillips joins St Mirren from Crystal Palace

St Mirren have signed midfielder Killian Phillips from Crystal Palace.

The 22-year-old will be on loan for the duration of this season before a transfer fee is paid next summer.

Phillips has agreed a contract until 2026, with the Paisley club holding an option to extend the deal for a further year.

Capped six times by the Republic of Ireland at U21 level, he spent last term on loan at Wycombe and Aberdeen.

He made 13 appearances for the Dons, including three Premiership starts.

"Killian is somebody we have looked at for a while," manager Stephen Robinson told club media.

"He needs a home and somewhere to settle. He’s still a young boy finding his way.

"He'll improve with the coaching, but he has the physical attributes. He’s a big boy, he can run, and he’ll hopefully help provide goals in the team as well.

"With a couple of bumps and knocks in the midfield it’s important we strengthen our numbers in there."
