MBi Llandudno have today announced that right back Jake Phillips has left the club and signed terms with League One side Sheffield United.

Phillips, who signed with Llandudno at the start of their Huws Gray Alliance title winning season, can play anywhere across the back four and was one of the club’s stand out performers throughout the last campaign.

The Liverpool-born defender has trialled with United over the last few weeks, playing in matches against Bristol Rovers and Leeds United and the Blades were that impressed with the young talent that they signed him immediately.

Llandudno manager Alan Morgan said: “Jake’s been first class for me since he came in, he’s a top player, there’s no doubt about that.

“He’s done brilliant since he was let go by Tranmere (Rovers), he’s come to us, worked hard and now he has got his reward.

“Some people think football is easy but after the blow Jake had being let go, some players can drift into oblivion but he’s got the desire and the right attitude needed to get back into full time football.

“Jake’s move is a testament to the good work this club does in developing players. Players don’t come to Llandudno to get by, they come to improve, to play in a competitive team in a hugely competitive league like the one we find ourselves in now.”
