Phil Demb is a Craitish former-footballer who last played for Porapa FC in Hamland. A right-back for the majority of his career, Demb converted to centre-back in his final years after leaving Osĵätoņ Aztecs FC, and earned 16 international caps. He is regarded as a member of Craitland's "Golden Generation".
Career
Club
Demb began playing professionally aged 25 with Osĵätoņ Feyenoord FC - as Osĵätoņ Aztecs FC were then known - in 2003, ahead of the inaugural CrFA League 1 season. Demb was instated as the team's starting right-back and helped them to a King's Cup title in 2004, before remaining an ever-present in their back-to-back league championship triumphs in 2005 and 2006, with the side not conceding a goal all campaign during the former. Demb's involvement in the Aztecs' domestic success continued into the 2007 season, with a second cup title being won thanks to clean sheets in the semi-final and final. A poor performance in 2008 was followed by the Aztecs regaining their league title the following year, with Demb still a consistent starter at the back. Demb's place in the team was relatively regular over the next two seasons, only occasionally being rotated with Milo Cräite, although the club failed to add any further trophies in that time. Demb was transfer listed at the end of the 2011 season, and moved abroad to Hammish Premier League side Porapa FC for a fee of Cr 4 million that summer.
Demb joined Porapa aged 33, and was utilised as both a right- and centre-back during his time in Hamland. One of Demb's earliest involvements with his new club was to start the final of the 2011 Hamland Cup, helping them to a 2–1 victory and their first silverware. In his first full season with the club, Demb was involved in the side's first Hamperor'yt Ceap win and also found a vein of scoring form as he hit four goals to help the team to third place. Despite a solid 2012 season, Demb was used less frequently by Porapa in the subsequent two campaigns, with other players in better form, and the club failed to add any further honours. After three years with the club, and a twelve-season career in total, Demb announced his retirement from football in 2014 at the age of 36.
