Phillips had just one year left on his contract at Anfield. He had very limited opportunities with the Reds . Bromwich Albion manager Ryan Mason made the 28 year-old as his first signing since taking over earlier in the summer.
Phillips joins the Championship team following a successful loan period at Derby County. There he made 33 appearances. He scored once and provided three assists to help the Rams mount an impressive escape from relegation.
This move will bring an end to a long spell for Phillips at the Reds. They signed him from Bolton Wanderers back in 2016 to join their youth development system.

Phillips debuted with the current PL champions in the 2019/20 season. The defender had been out of match the whole of the previous year. Phillips had felt he seized his opportunity in the 2020/21 season where he played in 20 games building a good partnership in the centre of the Liverpool defence alongside Rhys Williams. Both central defenders played a big part in the improvement of Liverpool’s final part of the season. That form saw them earn a top-four finish in the Premier League and a Champions League place.
Phillips superb time at Anfield also had him on loan to Stuttgart, AFC Bournemouth, Celtic, Cardiff City and Derby County. Almost always there has been an offer for him to leave permanently.
Phillips was last seen in a Reds’ jersey in an FA Cup tie at Wolves in January 2023. He played in pre season under Arne Slot. That includes playing and captaining the team in friendly wins against Arsenal and Manchester United.
Phillips leaves Anfield with 29 appearances to his name. He exits with a reputation for a reliable and committed defender. West Brom fans will be hoping that passion and experience follows him to the Hawthorns.
