Mark Ian Phillips (born 2 September 1982, Lambeth) is a professional footballer who plays for Southend United, having previously been contracted to Brentford.

Career

Phillips was signed as a youth player for Millwall in July 2000, and first appeared with the senior team in September 2001. He suffered from frequent injuries and notched up just 67 league appearances during his seven years at Millwall. He was released at the end of the 2007-08 season.

Phillips signed a one-year deal for Brentford on 14 August 2008, after a successful trial spell and played regularly for the first team following James Wilson's loan had expired. He ended up being an important member of the Brentford League Two winners squad and consequently was offered a new contract at the conclusion of the 2008–09 season.

He was released by Brentford on 11 May 2010, along with three other players.^[1]

Phillips trialled with League Two side Southend United in July 2010. On 31 July, Phillips signed a pre-contract agreement for Southend United. On 4 August 2010, Southend's transfer embargo was lifted and Phillips signed a two-year contract.

Phillips started Southend's first game of the season against Stockport County on 7 August 2010 and on 14 August 2010 against Aldershot Town. Since then Phillips has been plagued by groin injuries which required surgery. In January 2011 Phillips returned to full training.
