Phillips joined Palace from Drogheda on a two-year contract last January after a successful trial with the South London club.
Shrew' s boss Steve Cotterill said: “He’s an Irish boy."

“We have known about him for a little while now. We are really pleased we have got him in. He’s aggressive.
“I think Crystal Palace are very happy with how we’ve been with Rob Street. It was really handy because he rang Streety and asked him about the club – and Streety told him he loves it.
“There were about six or seven clubs who were after him so we are quite happy we have managed to jump the gun with that.”
