Phillips made his debut for the Ospreys in 2017 having previously played for the club's academy, Carmarthen Quins and Neath RFC.[3]
Phillips was involved in a serious motorbike accident in December 2021, as a result of which one of his legs was amputated, effectively ending his rugby career.[4][5] Since retiring from playing rugby, Phillips has worked as a pundit and commentator as well as coaching for his former junior club side Crymych RFC.[6]
A Welsh-language TV documentary following Phillips' recovery and rehabilitation after the accident, Y Cam Nesaf, won the award for best sports documentary at the 2024 RTS Wales Awards.[7]
