Swindon Supermarine (loan)

After scoring seven goals in seven matches over the course of November, Phillips won the Swindon Supermarine Player of the Month award. On 8 December, Phillips extended his loan spell with the club until 1 January 2022. On 5 January, Phillips' loan deal was extended until the end of the season.

Gloucester City
On 29 July 2022, Phillips joined National League North club Gloucester City following a successful trial period, linking up with former Bristol Rovers academy manager Lee Mansell. A successful October saw Phillips win the league's player of the month award having scored six goals in four matches.
