Career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Philliskirk began his career with his home town club, Oldham Athletic. He progressed through the club's youth system before signing a four-year contract with Chelsea in the summer of 2007.[2][3] He captained the Chelsea youth team in the 2008–09 season before establishing himself in the club's reserves.
He signed a one-month loan deal with Oxford United in August 2010,[4] making his first-team début (and only appearance for Oxford) against Burton Albion in the Football League a few days later before returning to Chelsea.[5]
Sheffield United
[edit]Philliskirk joined Sheffield United on a month's loan in January 2011,[6] which was then extended until the end of the season. He had to wait until mid-April to make his first appearance for the Blades, away at Preston coming on as a second-half substitute, following which he signed a pre-contract agreement to join the Blades permanently at the end of the season.[7] He was released from Chelsea after finishing his contract with them and later joined Sheffield United, as promised, on a free transfer.[8] In his first full season at Bramall Lane however, he found first-team opportunities limited and agreed to re-join Oxford United on a month's loan in October 2011[9] making four appearances for the Us.
On his return to Bramall Lane Philliskirk remained on the fringes of the first team and was rewarded with an extended deal in January 2012.[10] The following season, he remained unable to make the break into the first team and was released by United in January 2013.[11]

After impressing manager Mark Robins, he signed a contract until June 2013.[12] Steven Pressley, who had replaced Robins as Coventry manager, announced on 30 April 2013 that Philliskirk's contract would not be renewed.[13] In total, Philliskirk made a single appearance for the club.
Following his release from Coventry, Philliskirk trialled in the summer of 2013 with Championship side Doncaster Rovers.[14]

Following this up with goals against Preston,[16] also in the Football League Trophy, and his first career league goal a winner against Swindon Town.[17]
