Crystal Palace Academy midfielder Killian Phillips has been called up to the Republic of Ireland senior side for the very first time.
He is a part of Heimir Hallgrímsson’s side, as they prepare for friendlies against Senegal and Luxembourg. The midfielder made his debut as a second-half substitute, coming on in the 67th minute for Matt Doherty.
Phillips has been on loan at St Mirren this season, starting in 33 consecutive Scottish Premiership games and helping the side to finish in the top half of the division before the split.
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 prior to his call-up.
