Phil Harrington

Philip Harrington (born 23 November 1963) is a Welsh football coach and former player who played as a goalkeeper. He is the goalkeeping coach at Cork City in the League of Ireland Premier Division.

Career Although he was born in Bangor, Harrington grew up in nearby Caernarfon and it was while on the books of Caernarfon Town that he was spotted by Chester coach Cliff Sear and joined the Football League club on schoolboy terms. He became an apprentice with the club after leaving school in 1980, with his performances for Chester's reserve and youth sides prompting a call up to the Wales Youth side for the 1981 European Youth Championships. He went on to make 76 appearances over the next three years, amid competition from Grenville Millington, Mike Salmon, Billy O'Rourke and John Butcher. This season saw him miss just five games for Chester, but unfortunately the campaign ended with the club finishing bottom of The Football League.

Three months of 1984–85 were spent on loan at Oxford United without making any appearances.
