Career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Phenix was born in Manchester and began his career at Bolton Wanderers academy. He failed to earn a professional contract at Bolton and began playing amateur football with Manchester League side Hindsford.[2] After a trial at Notts County, Phenix played for Droylsden and Skelmersdale United before joining AFC Telford United.[2] He missed a month of the 2013–14 season after suffering from ulcerative colitis.[3]

Barnsley

[edit]

In October 2014 Phenix joined League One side Barnsley for a fee of £25,000.[4] He made his Football League debut on 17 January 2015 in a 1–0 defeat against Doncaster Rovers.[5] After struggling for game time at Oakwell Phenix went out on loan to Macclesfield Town in March 2015.[6]

Southport

[edit]

Despite playing several times for Barnsley in pre-season in 2015, he again went out on loan to Southport on 11 August 2015.[7] He made his debut for Southport the same day, playing the full 90 minutes in their 0–0 draw with Macclesfield. His first goal for the club came in a 2–2 home draw against Tranmere Rovers on 15 September 2015. In October 2015 Phenix had his role terminated by the club[8] however he signed for the club after he agreed a deal for the remainder of the 2015–16 season.[9] He was released at the end of the season, scoring five goals and making 36 appearances for the club.

Salford City

[edit]

He joined Salford City in late May 2016.

Mike made his Salford debut on the opening day of the 2016-2017 when Gloucester visited Moor Lane, The Ammies' first ever National League North fixture would finish 0-0 but 'Pheno' was soon on the goal trail. He scored in each of the next five matches, including a winner against local rivals FC United of Manchester. Sixteen goals were recorded over a campaign that ended in play-off disappointment but he had the consolation of finishing as the club's top scorer. He made a vital contribution during the 2017-2018 title winning season too, notching eleven times.

Southport (second spell)

[edit]

In June 2018 he re-joined Southport.[10] In October 2018, having made seven league appearances on his return to Southport,[11] his contract was terminated[12] with immediate effect. Phenix thereafter announced his retirement from football.[13] In May 2019 it was announced he had been banned from all football and football-related activity for four years for regularly use of cocaine.[14]

Return to football

[edit]

In September 2022, Phenix made his return to football, joining Ashton United. In November 2022, following a short spell on dual-registration terms, he joined North West Counties Football League Premier Division club Prestwich Heys.[15]

In July 2024, following a year out of football, Phenix joined Avro.[16] On 24 September 2024, he joined Wythenshawe.[17]
