Club career edit

Mills came through the Reading Academy, signing professional forms with the club in summer 2010.[3] He was loaned out to Oxford City in August 2010[4] and Dutch side Telstar in January 2011[5] where he made seven appearances in the Eerste Divisie.[6] He was released by Reading at the end of the 2011–12 season having not made a senior appearance for the club.[7][note 1]

In August 2012 he trialled for Bradford City though the club opted not to sign him on a permanent basis.[10] Later that month he signed for Conference North side Oxford City.[11] Mills remained with Oxford until January 2013 when he moved to Staines Town though he was released at the end of the season.[12] He made a total 39 league appearances for both sides during the 2012–13 season.[6]

In July 2013, Mills joined Hayes & Yeading United on trial and featured in four pre-season fixtures before signing a permanent deal in August.[13][14] He made his debut in a 2–0 home defeat to Bromley on 17 August and scored his first goal for the club a month later against Havant & Waterlooville.[15][16]

In 2014, he signed for Wealdstone,[17] but returned to Hayes & Yeading United later in the year.[18]

International career edit

Mills was made two appearances for the England under-19s in 2010, playing against Slovakia and Albania.[19]
