Club career

Born in Lleida, Catalonia, Milla graduated from UE Lleida's youth setup. After the club's dissolution he was assigned to Lleida Esportiu, being promoted to the first team and making his senior debuts in the 2011–12 campaign, in Segunda División B.

On 11 June 2014, Milla moved to Getafe CF, being assigned to the reserves also in the third level.[2] On 14 January of the following year he played his first match with the main squad, starting in a 1–0 home win against UD Almería, for the campaign's Copa del Rey.[3]

On 20 July 2015, Milla signed a one-year deal with UD Logroñés.[4] On 20 June 2016, after scoring a career-best 18 goals, he joined La Liga side SD Eibar,[5] being loaned to UCAM Murcia CF on 2 August.[6]

Milla scored his first professional goal on 22 April 2017, netting the winner in a 2–1 away success over Girona FC. On 6 July he moved to fellow second division club CD Numancia, on loan for one year.[7]

Ahead of the 2018–19 campaign, Milla returned to the Armeros and was assigned to the first-team. He made his top tier debut on 24 August 2018, starting in a 0–2 away loss against former side Getafe.[8] On 15 June of the following year, after appearing rarely, he signed a contract with Elche CF in the second division.[9]

On 23 August 2020, Milla came off the bench to score Elche's winning goal in the play-offs Final against Girona FC, taking his side back to the top tier after five years.[10] He scored his first goal in the top tier on 18 October, netting the opener in a 2–0 away win over Deportivo Alavés.

On 15 August 2023, Milla signed a four-year contract with RCD Espanyol, freshly relegated to the second division.[11]
