Harry Phipps

Harry Phipps joined Sutton following a long-term stint at Dagenham & Redbridge, with the expiry of his contract following the Daggers’ relegation allowing the U’s to swoop in and secure his signature in June 2025.

Having started his career at Margate, Phipps impressed with a good run of form during the 2016/17 season – even making his senior debut in a 4-1 defeat against Sutton – before joining Maidstone United ahead of the 2017/18 campaign. His time at the Gallagher Stadium, while brief, allowed him to gain a wealth of experience with loan spells at Welling United and East Thurrock United, before exiting with just ten appearances to his name as he opted to leave his home county of Kent behind for the first time at the age of 19.

Joining Dagenham ahead of the 2018/19 campaign, Phipps subsequently remained a Dagger for the next seven years, with the midfielder-turned-defender becoming an ever-present with his tenacity and tirelessness in midfield keeping his side ticking, and was rewarded with a contract extension just six months after joining.

Having spent his early career journeying around a number of clubs, Phipps established Victoria Road as his long-term home despite a couple of serious injuries at the start of his Daggers career, and racked up almost 150 appearances during an extended spell in East London.
