Playing career

Mills made his NRL debut in round 10 of the 2011 NRL season against the Sydney Roosters, scoring a try in a Cronulla victory.[2] League great Phil Gould described Mills' first game as "one of the toughest and most competent first-grade debuts" he had seen.[3] Mills' career was hindered by injuries over the past two years before his debut.[2]

On 22 September 2013, Mills was named at centre in the 2013 NSW Cup Team of the Year.[4]

On 15 October 2013, Mills signed a one-year contract with the Brisbane Broncos.[5]

In 2015, Mills joined the Mount Pritchard Mounties in the NSW Cup. In late 2016, he revealed on Instagram that he was retiring due to a chronic knee injury, he is now Captain Coach for the Nyngan Tigers 2017.
