Prior to that, he had a spell managing Bangor in Wales and was also the head of coaching and U18s boss at Shrewsbury Town.
"Ian Dawes has moved up from the youth team and he has done brilliantly," McPhillips said.
"He has done great with the sessions and the lads really like him."
The appointment of Ian Dawes follows the news of Gary Brabin returning to the club as assistant manager earlier this week.
