Millar's preferred position is as a number nine, but was utilised in various roles with Liverpool due to his flexibility. He has been noted for his ability on the left flank. In August 2016, manager Neil Critchley said: "He's a goalscorer. He can run down the side of defenders, he runs in behind, he gives them real problems with his movement and he's a good finisher off both feet. He's got a good brain, good awareness, very calm and can finish. He's a good player, a good all-round player."

Millar was born in Toronto, Ontario, and was raised in Brampton and Oakville. He moved to England at the age of 13 for footballing purposes. He began playing soccer at age four with Brampton SC. Afterwards, he played with North Mississauga SC and Burlington SC. His father played for Charlton Athletic and is an electrician who worked on television series, including Game of Thrones.
