Aberdeen have completed the loan signing of Killian Phillips.
The 21-year-old arrives from Premier League side Crystal Palace until the end of the season.
The versatile midfielder spent the first half of the campaign with Wycombe Wanderers, where he made 30 appearances for the League One outfit.
Philipps will go straight into the squad for the visit of Dundee to Pittodrie on Tuesday evening.
His professional career started at Drogheda United in Ireland. He became a first team regular in 2021.
He earned his move to Palace in January 2022 after his breakthrough season in the League of Ireland.
Phillips made his debut for the Selhurst Park side in the August of that year against Oxford United in the early stages of the Carabao Cup.
A Republic of Ireland Under-21 international, he also gained valuable first-team minutes at Shrewsbury Town last season. He earned the club's Young Player of the Season award.
“I’m pleased to bring Killian to the club as he’s a player we’ve admired for some time”, said manager Barry Robson.
“He’s energetic, hardworking and his strength of character is matched by his technical ability.
“He’s proven this season already that he’s capable given the number of games he has amassed. He’s put in some big performances, including a man of the match display, scoring for Ireland U21’s against Italy.
“He’s very good in both boxes and will add a real versatility to our midfield options.
“He has the right mentality to fit into our squad and we look forward to working with him in the second half of the season.”
