Career

Mills rode in two matches for Sheffield Tigers and Long Eaton Archers in 1967 before joining the newly formed Leicester Lions in 1968.[2] He rode in seventeen British League Division One matches for Leicester that year, averaging 2.58, dropping down to the second division in 1969 with Middlesbrough Teessiders, for whom he averaged over 7 points in two seasons there.[3] In 1971, wanting to ride for a team closer to his home, he moved to Long Eaton Rangers, for whom he continued to score highly until his retirement at the end of the 1973 season.[2][4]

Mills represented Great Britain at junior level and England at Division Two level.[2]
