Matthew Claude Mills (born July 14, 1986 in Swindon, England) is an English footballer, who is currently plays for Doncaster Rovers.
The promising England Under-21 defender signed from Southampton on a three-and-a-half-year deal in January 2006. A tall, athletic and composed centre-back, Mills linked up again with City reserve boss Steve Wigley, who worked with the youngster during his spell in charge of Saints' Academy. Mills displayed his potential during a handful of Championship appearances for the south-coast club and he has also enjoyed loan spells at Bournemouth and Coventry City.
On 26 January 2007, he joined Colchester United on loan[1] returning in April.
On 17 August 2007, Matthew joined Doncaster Rovers on a six month loan deal, linking up with manager Sean O'Driscoll for a second time in his career.
He had his loan spell cut short on the 21 November 2007 due to a cartilage problem and is back in Manchester receiving the necessary treatment.
The young centre-back has now rejoined Doncaster on loan following his spell out through injury and will stay at the South Yorkshire club for the rest of the season.
Following promotion to the Championship, Mills is expected to seal a £300,000 move in the following weeks to Doncaster after announcing his intentions to move in the league 1 play off final programme.
