Liverpool defender Nat Phillips has joined Cardiff City to get regular game time.

The 26-year-old central defender has been a peripheral figure at the Anfield club.

While the Reds could not find a permanent suitor for Phillips, a temporary deal suits all parties.

Phillips will get more game time, while the Reds can put him on the shop window.

Phillips has been on loan at Scottish champions Celtic this season, playing eight times.

He even managed to get on the field for a Champions League game against Atletico Madrid.
