When Liverpool brought Nat Phillips up from the academy in 2019, it was right on loan. This was the start of six years as a Liverpool player at heart, but not in practice. Now the centre-back has found his place outside Anfield.
On loan at Stuttgart in 2019, Phillips missed out on the long-awaited Premier League title to Liverpool, returning briefly to Anfield for a total of 29 games in the red shirt, but spending much of the next few years on loan. Bouremouth, Celtic, Cardiff, last season at Derby.

Here he played 33 games for the 28-year-old. Phillips was the player Jürgen Klopp would have liked to have let play more, but the competition in central defence with title ambitions was too tough.
The Liverpool Echo reports Phillips is undergoing medical testing at West Bromwich Albion on Monday as Ryan Mason’s first signing as the new manager.
Thus, it will be the Championship at Phillips, for the club that last season finished in 9th place. Will be exciting to follow. We wish Phillips the best of luck on his journey outside Anfield.
