Philip Billing, born on the 11th of June 1996 in Denmark, is a tenacious player defined by his capability to command the central roles in midfield. Currently under contract with FC Midtjylland, this formidable athlete finds prowess in his commanding stature, measuring in at an imposing 6ft 5in (1.97m), while maintaining a robust weight of approximately 12st 8lb (80kg).
Seeking a reliable indicator of his worth, one might turn to his market value — a resounding £8.5m, a figure provided by the trusted site Transfermarkt.
The green shoots of Billing's professional career first emerged during the 2013-2014 season with Huddersfield Town. In this embryonic stage, he made his first tentative steps on the pitch with a single appearance, steadily garnishing more influence and game time over the ensuing seasons. For instance, in the 2015-2016 season, he found his name on the team sheet for 13 matches, even managing to put a goal to his name. By the 2016-2017 season, his appearances had nearly doubled to 24, coupled with a modest sum of two goals. Maintaining a consistent presence in the team, our Danish midfield stalwart chalked up 16 appearances in the 2017-2018 season.
Progressing into the 2018-2019 season with Huddersfield Town, Billing's role in the collective continued to thrive with 27 appearances under his belt, scoring twice. But as the 2019-2020 season loomed on the horizon, a change of scenery was on the cards, marking a new chapter of Billing's career with AFC Bournemouth.
Arising bearing the colours of Bournemouth, Billing cut an imposing figure for his opponents, gracing the field for 34 matches and banging in a solitary goal in his debut season. This impressive commencement at his new club merely laid the groundwork for the impressive record to come; over the course of the next two seasons (2020-2022), he made 74 appearances and contributed a substantial 18 goals.
However, the 2022-2024 seasons saw a noticeable mitigation in Billing's prolific goal scoring despite maintaining a reliable presence in the team, with 65 appearances across the two seasons and nine goals. During the following season of 2024 - 2025, a contrasting blend of starts between two clubs were on the cards, 10 appearances for Bournemouth and 10 appearances for Napoli - the latter making room for a solitary goal.
The current season (2025-2026) sees Philip Billing take to the pitch for FC Midtjylland in the Danish leagues, with a single appearance so far. The story is far from over for this uncompromising midfield dynamo, and eagerly does the world of football continue to watch his journey unfold.
