Speaking to WaterfordFC.ie, Phillips said: “I am very excited to be here and excited to get going for the new season.

“I spoke to the gaffer [Danny Searle] and due to working with each other at Aldershot, we know each other well. He sold me the Waterford package – I can’t wait.

“I want to keep the goals out at the back, keep as many clean sheets are possible and help this club get back to the First Division.
