Phillips left the Seasiders in 2013 to join QPR, and remained at Loftus Road for three seasons.

The former Scotland international has spent the last eight years with West Brom, appearing 225 times in total for the Baggies, scoring 31 goals and providing 31 assists.

Following his departure from the Hawthorns at the end of last season, Bucks Free Press report Phillips would be open to a return to his first club Wycombe, with the attacker currently working with a personal trainer in Oxford to keep himself fit ahead of the new campaign.

His last spell at Adams Park saw him find the back of the net nine times in 87 senior games as a youngster.
