NewsNat Phillips joins Celtic on loan

The centre-back will link up with the Scottish club until January after finalising a switch to Celtic Park on Thursday afternoon.

Phillips has made 29 appearances for the Reds’ senior side, scoring one goal, since joining the club’s Academy in 2016.

Twenty of those games came during the 2020-21 campaign, when he was instrumental in helping Jürgen Klopp’s team to a third-placed finish in the Premier League.

Last season, the 26-year-old turned out five times for Liverpool, most recently in an Emirates FA Cup tie with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux in January.
