Bio

Ash joined Rovers in 2017 having initially started out with local club Curzon Ashton.

Highly-rated and eligible to represent Wales and England, it was with England where Phillips earned his first international cap when he played for the Under-17s in the win over Portugal in the semi-finals of the Syrenka Cup.

Progressing to be a part of Jon Dahl Tomasson's plans in pre-season in 2022, Ash made his first-team debut in the 4-0 Carabao Cup win over Hartlepool United at Ewood Park in August 2022.

He's made great progress since, making his Championship debut in the win over West Bromwich Albion and going on to feature in five more league outings since.
