He was promoted to the senior side after the injury-related retirement of veteran Paul Williams mid-season, and immediately participated in his first senior AFL match in Round 15, 2006 at Subiaco Oval against the West Coast Eagles.

He was delisted by the Swans at the end of the 2007 season.

In Round 17 of the 2010 season Phillips reached his 50-game milestone unfortunately losing to Central District by 8 points kicking 2 goals. Round 18 Phillips was voted one of the best players playing against South Adelaide Panthers.

He debuted for Port Adelaide in Round 7, 2011 against Hawthorn at AAMI Stadium, replacing David Rodan who had injured his knee halfway through the game.
