Brenton Phillips

Brenton Phillips (born 5 November 1962) is a former Australian rules footballer who played mainly for the Brisbane Bears in the VFL/AFL and North Adelaide in the SANFL.

Phillips spent most of his time on the field playing as wing, half forward or ruck-rover.

He first played with North Adelaide in 1981 and remained with them until after the 1985 season when he joined Essendon.

The Bombers were coming off successive premierships and Phillips got just 10 games in 1986 due to the strength of the side.

He became coach of Sturt in 2002 and led them to the premiership in his debut season in charge, ending a 26-year drought for the club.
