Michael Phillips (born 22 January 1983)[1] is an English association football player who currently plays for Isthmian League Division One South side Maidstone United.
Phillips began his career with Gillingham, who played at the time in the Football League First Division. He made his debut for the club's first team against Blackburn Rovers in May 2001. This was to be his only appearance, however, as his subsequent career was dogged by injury.[2] He was forced to retire from the professional game in 2004 and went on to play non-league football for Worthing, Welling United,[3] Ramsgate, Tonbridge Angels and Hastings United before signing for Maidstone United in December 2010.[4] Phillips then left the Stones in the summer of 2011 to join Erith Town where he took up a player/assistant manager role, however he returned to Maidstone in a playing role in October 2011.
In 2004 Phillips alleged that he, his parents, and girlfriend Alex Day had been assaulted by police while on holiday in Portugal. Phillips himself suffered a broken jaw and nose.[5]
