In 2019, he moved to India and signed with I-League side NEROCA on a season-long deal.[2] He appeared in twelve league games as they finished the 2019–20 season on ninth position.
International career[]
In December 2008, Phillip's international career came into doubt after he was stabbed in the back in Hardbargain, but the goalkeeper made a full recovery and was able to play, in the absence of Clayton Ince, in World Cup qualifying matches in 2009.[3] Phillip was called up and featured in the 2021 Gold Cup for Trinidad.[4]
