Crystal Palace’s Irish youngster Killian Phillips is to embark on his first loan spell by joining League One Shrewsbury till the end of the season.

The Kilbarrack midfielder has made a big impression on Seagulls boss Patrick Vieira since joining from Drogheda United in January on a two-and-a-half year deal Something of a late developer, Phillips made up for lost time by racking up 30 appearances for Drogs last year in their first season back in the top-flight.
