Kalvin Phillips, born on 2 December 1995 (age 30), is an English central defensive midfielder now with Sheffield United. His career, though, is tied most firmly to Leeds United, where he became a long-serving first-team player rather than just another academy product passing through.
Across eight seasons at Leeds, Phillips made 214 league appearances and scored 13 league goals. His strongest scoring campaign came in 2017-18, when he produced seven goals in 41 league games – a useful return for a player whose main work was normally done in the less decorative parts of midfield.
Leeds gave him the platform and the volume of football that shaped his career. Sheffield United is his current club, but the main body of his senior record was built at Elland Road, over a sustained spell rather than a brief burst.
