Club career

Southampton

Born in Swindon, Wiltshire, Mills began his youth career at Swindon Town in 1999 before joining Southampton at the age of fourteen. Having progressed through the Southampton Academy and then the reserves, he signed his first professional contract with the club in 2002. In order to gain first-team experience, Mills was loaned to Coventry City for one month on 18 September 2004. On the same day, he made his debut for Coventry City, just hours after completing the necessary paperwork, in a 0–0 draw against Rotherham United. He made three further starts, including scoring an own goal in a 2–1 defeat to Ipswich Town on 3 October 2004, which proved to be his final appearance for the club. Mills then returned to Southampton, making four appearances. Although Coventry City sought to extend his loan for a second month, Southampton declined the request. On 21 February 2005, Mills joined AFC Bournemouth on a one-month loan. He made his Bournemouth debut the following day, starting and playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–1 draw against Torquay United. He subsequently scored his first goals for the club, against Tranmere Rovers and Swindon Town. His performances led to his loan being extended twice, eventually lasting until the end of the 2004–05 season. In the final game of the season, he scored his third goal for Bournemouth in a 4–2 defeat to Bradford City. He finished the campaign with twelve appearances and three goals in all competitions. Following his loan spell…
