### A Full-Circle Journey
Philip Billing’s footballing journey began at Wrexham’s youth academy, where he honed his skills before moving to Huddersfield Town in 2013. His rise through the ranks continued with a move to AFC Bournemouth in 2019, where he became a key figure in the club’s midfield. Billing’s performances earned him a loan move to Napoli in January 2025, where he joined a squad managed by Antonio Conte and featuring former Premier League stars like Romelu Lukaku, Billy Gilmour, and Scott McTominay.
Despite the high-profile move, Billing’s playing time at Napoli was limited, with only 10 appearances and one start in the 2024–25 season. This lack of regular football led to discussions about his future, culminating in the unexpected decision to return to Wrexham.
