The move adds another experienced name to the Adran North side as they continue shaping their squad for the new campaign.

What has Phillips achieved in club football?
Phillips joined CPDM Bethel in 2016 and was part of the 2018-19 side that jointly won the North Wales Women’s League title. That title run established her as part of a successful local team before she moved into a bigger role at Llanberis.
She went on to form a women’s team at Llanberis in 2019-20 and acted as player-manager. The team showed promise in NWWFL Division Two, but the project lasted only one season because the campaign was shortened by Covid.
How did she perform at Llandudno?
Phillips joined Llandudno for the 2021-22 season and became part of the squad that won the inaugural tier 2 Genero Adran North title. Her most notable contribution came on the final day, when she laid on the winning goal in a 3-2 victory over Wrexham that clinched the championship.
Llandudno also went on to win the North Wales Coast Challenge Cup that season, adding further silverware to Phillips’s CV. She stayed with the club through the following campaign and began the next one there before leaving in September 2023 for Felinheli.
After just two months at Cae Seilo, she returned to Llandudno and helped the club to a second Adran North title at the end of 2023-24. Across her time at Maesdu Park, she made 72 appearances and scored 12 goals.
