The 23-year-old will make the step up to League 1, after 14 goals in 43 appearances over last season and this at the Mazuma Stadium - where he was top-scorer with 10 this term - and will link up with Stanley for the rest of the season.

Phillips said: “I enjoyed my time at Morecambe and this is a chance now to move up a division and test myself at the this level.

“I know a few of the lads at Accrington and I’m looking forward to the challenge of being involved there and helping them for the rest of the season.”

Phillips joined the Clarets in August, 2019 after a spell with Norwich City, and impressed in the Under 23s in his first season at Turf Moor.

The England youth international has since made a big impact at Morecambe.
