[edit] Playing Career

Mills started his career with Nottingham Forest, winning a European Cup winners medal winner after playing in the 1980 final at the age of just 18 years and 198 days.

After leaving for the States to play for the Seattle Sounders, he returned to the UK to play for Derby County, Forest again, Notts County in two spells and Leicester City. He won the Anglo-Italian Cup with Notts County in 1995.

Mills was an England international at schoolboy, youth and U21 level.

[edit] Management Career

Mills has a terrific pedigree as a non-league manager and is also a UEFA A badge level coach. He has achieved success before through an excellent working partnership with assistant Darron Gee together at Grantham Town and King's Lynn.

He also had a previous spell with Tamworth but left the Lambs in 2002 to become first team coach at Coventry City^[1].

Mills replaced Bill Dearden in January 2004 Notts County but could not prevent relegation to League Two ^[2]. He fell victim to a spate of injuries in his squad which led to inconsistent results and the sack in November^[3].

He was appointed manager of Alfreton Town on three-year deal in May 2005^[4].

Mills left the Impact Arena to return as Tamworth manager on January 26, 2007 ^[5].
