**Liverpool have confirmed Nat Phillips’ permanent departure.**
Phillips arrived at Anfield in summer 2016 from Bolton Wanderers and went on to make 29 appearances in all competitions during his next nine years at the club.
The 28-year-old rose to prominence during the 2020/21 campaign when he featured 20 times as the Reds battled an unprecedented injury crisis under Jurgen Klopp.
But Phillips had to pursue first-team opportunities elsewhere with loan spells at Bournemouth, Celtic, Cardiff City and Derby County across the next three years.
On Monday, the centre-back sealed a move to West Bromwich Albion which brought the curtain down on almost a decade in the red half of Merseyside.
Phillips’ move to the Hawthorns will see Arne Slot’s side generate up to £3 million with add-ons despite his current deal previously due to expire at the end of June.
