Phillips is understood to be of interest to Steve Cotterill's side as they aim to boost their midfield ranks and add to their six summer signings so far.

The 24-year-old spent the whole of last season on loan at Town's League One rivals Morecambe, scoring seven goals in 42 appearances across all competitions.

That was his third loan spell with the Shrimps, having also netted 10 times in 33 games in 2020/21 before spending the second half of that season at Accrington Stanley.
