“On behalf of me and my family, I would like to say a massive thank you for your support over the last eight years, Baggies.

You have an unbelievable manager and a great group of lads that strive each day to do you all pro

During his time at West Brom, Phillips contributed significantly to the team’s efforts, including their promotion to the Premier League. Despite injury setbacks in recent seasons, he remained a key figure both on and off the pitch.

Phillips’ departure marks the beginning of a transitional period for West Brom, as several experienced players are set to leave the club. The winger’s leadership and experience will be missed as the team prepares for the upcoming season.

As Phillips embarks on the next chapter of his career, he leaves behind a legacy of dedication and professionalism that has endeared him to the West Brom faithful.
