A prolific striker, he started his career with Old Woodstock Town, moving to Abingdon United and then North Leigh, before joining Didcot Town in September 2013.

 

With Didcot, he made 92 appearances and scored 79 goals at Southern League Division One level.

 

This attracted the attention of Hereford FC and he signed for the Bulls in July 2015.

 

A hat-trick on his debut set the tone for a remarkable three seasons at Edgar Street where he scored 140 goals, helping the side to three successive promotions and an FA Vase Final appearance at Wembley.

 

The 29-year-old turned down a new contract with Hereford for the 2018/19 season and Vanarama National League South side Bath City saw off interest from a number of other sides to secure his signature in June 2018.

 

Despite this, limited first-team starts saw him spend October to December on loan at Banbury, who he re-joined on a more permanent basis in July 2019 having spent the last part of the 2018/19 on loan with Midland Leaguers Westfields.

 

In total, Mills made 48 appearances for Banbury and scored 9 goals.
