Career

Early career

Philliskirk began his career with his home town club, Oldham Athletic. He progressed through the club's youth system before signing a four-year contract with Chelsea in the summer of 2007. [2] [3] He captained the Chelsea youth team in the 2008–09 season before establishing himself in the club's reserves.

He signed a one-month loan deal with Oxford United in August 2010, [4] making his first-team début (and only appearance for Oxford) against Burton Albion in the Football League a few days later before returning to Chelsea. [5]

Sheffield United

Philliskirk joined Sheffield United on a month's loan in January 2011, [6] which was then extended until the end of the season. He had to wait until mid-April to make his first appearance for the Blades, away at Preston coming on as a second-half substitute, following which he signed a pre-contract agreement to join the Blades permanently at the end of the season. [7] He was released from Chelsea after finishing his contract with them and later joined Sheffield United, as promised, on a free transfer. [8] In his first full season at Bramall Lane however, he found first-team opportunities limited and agreed to re-join Oxford United on a month's loan in October 2011 [9] making four appearances for the Us.

On his return to Bramall Lane Philliskirk remained on the fringes of the first team and was rewarded with an extended deal in January 2012. [10] The following season, he remained unable to make the break into the first team and was released by United in January 2013. [11]

Coventry City

[12] Steven Pressley, who had replaced Robins as Coventry manager, announced on 30 April 2013 that Philliskirk's contract would not be renewed. [13] In total, Philliskirk made a single appearance for the club.

Following his release from Coventry, Philliskirk trialled in the summer of 2013 with Championship side Doncaster Rovers. [14]

Oldham Athletic

[15] Philliskirk scored 2 goals on his debut for Latics in a 4–1 away victory against Shrewsbury in the Football League Trophy. Following this up with goals against Preston, [16] also in the Football League Trophy, and his first career league goal a winner against Swindon Town. [17]

On 2 May 2014, Philliskirk signed an extension on his contract for a further two-years with the option of a third year. [18]

AFC Fylde

He scored his first Fylde goal in a 1–1 draw away to Barnet on 22 September 2018. Philliskirk then went onto score in Fylde's 3–0 over Braintree Town on 29 September 2018. On 27 October 2018, he scored in a comfortable 6–0 away win against Maidenhead United.

In December 2023, Philliskirk joined National League North club Southport on an initial two-month loan deal. [21]
