Kieran Phillips

Kieran Phillips of Ross County was born in Pontefract, England on 18 February 2000 (age 26).

Kieran Phillips is an English striker, born on 18 February 2000 (age 26), and now with Ross County. He is valued at around £298,000 by Transfermarkt, which is about right for a forward still trying to turn decent spells into a settled body of work.

His best league season came in 2024 with Sacramento Republic, where he scored 12 goals in 28 appearances. That remains the clearest marker of his productivity so far: not a vast sample, but enough to show there is a finisher there when the fit is right.

At Ross County in 2026-27, Phillips has made 13 appearances across all competitions and scored 11 goals. In League One, he has three goals from seven appearances, while he has also featured in the League Cup and Scottish Cup.

Phillips’ career to this point has been that of a developing striker with one strong Sacramento season behind him and a productive spell at Ross County underway. The next step is simply sustaining it over a longer stretch.
