Phillip Palethorpe (born 17 September 1986, Wirral) is an English professional footballer currently without a club after being released by Chester City, where he made a professional appearance.

Palethorpe joined Chester from Tranmere Rovers early in 2006–07, where he had been for several years without making a first–team appearance.[1] He spent his first season with Chester as second–choice to ever–present goalkeeper John Danby, and then became third choice at the start of 2007–08 when Gavin Ward joined the club.

In November 2007, Palethorpe joined Tamworth in a two month loan deal, allowing him to gain first–team experience in the Conference North.[2] He returned to Chester two months later when Ward moved on to Wrexham and Palethorpe again became cover for Danby, finally making his Football League debut as a substitute when Danby was injured against Darlington on 22 March 2008.[3] This proved to be his only appearance for the club, as he was released at the end of the season.[4]
