Wycombe Wanderers have completed the signing of Crystal Palace midfielder Killian Phillips on a season-long loan.

The 21-year-old becomes the club’s 10th new face to join the Chairboys this summer and will wear the number 22 shirt which was last worn by the departing Nick Freeman.

The confirmation of his move has come just days before Wanderers’ third match of the season against Lincoln City, with the USA-born Irishman expecting to be in the squad for the trip to Sincil Bank.

He spent the latter part of last season on loan from Shrewsbury Town and played in Matt Bloomfield’s first game in charge of the club for the Shrews back in February.

Speaking on Phillips’ arrival at Adams Park, the manager said: “Killian brings a real hunger and desire to his game.

“He has a real attacking instinct and drives into the box really well.

“He’s a big strapping boy and he played really well for Shrewsbury last season.

“We first enquired about in January when at Colchester and when I moved back here, he played really well against us in League One.

“We went to watch the Crystal Palace U21s in the European final last season, so that one has also seen endless hours of phone calls and it looked like it wasn’t able to be possible for us, but luckily, we persevered and kept plugging away.

“We got that breakthrough and he’s a boy that has goals in him.

“He has an attacking threat from midfield by arriving in the box and he’s very physical too in the middle of the park.

“He covers the ground well and he’ll be hugely important in both boxes.

“We had dinner together last week and I love his attitude as he’s a family man who is driven to success.

“He ticks all the boxes and we’re really fortunate to have him here, as we’ve had to beat a lot of clubs to get him.

“We’re delighted to have him.”
