Club career

Huachipato

Millar started his career at Huachipato in 1999. He made his Chilean Primera División debut, aged 20, against Santiago Wanderers on 30 April 2000. Millar scored his first goal for Huachipato against Rangers de Talca in a 1–1 draw. In the 2003 season, Millar scored 12 goals in 32 games and caught the eye of several European teams. On 6 March 2004, it was reported that Millar was invited to train with the German side Hertha BSC. After training with the club, it was revealed that they wanted to sign him due to his good performances for Huachipato and his nomination for the 2004 Copa América in Peru. However, his move to Germany failed to materialise and he remained with Huachipato where his performance improved considerably, scoring 14 goals in 39 games. In July 2006, after a very good Torneo de Apertura, Millar was nearly transferred to CD Tenerife and was also linked with FC Terek Grozny, but later rejected the offer for personal reasons. Millar then had a poor Torneo de Clausura performance because of a series of injuries, scoring only 3 goals in 8 games.

Colo-Colo

On 14 December 2006, it was reported that Millar had come to an agreement with Colo-Colo. He signed a three-year deal, which was officially announced on 16 December.

International career

His performances for Colo-Colo earned Millar a place in the national team in September 2009 for a friendly match against Honduras. He went on to be a part of Chile's squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, where he scored Chile's goal in the 1–2 defeat to Spain in the first round. Millar was named in the 2011 Copa América squad but did not play. Jorge Sampaoli named him in the 30-man provisional squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. After not being included in the 23-man World Cup squad, Millar returned to play for Chile in friendlies against Mexico and Haiti. During a friendly against Venezuela, Millar scored his first international goal in 4 years in an eventual 5–0 victory. He was named in the preliminary squad for the 2015 Copa America but was omitted from the final squad.
