Playing career

Milward played for Glossop, Wrexham, Stoke and Hanley Swifts before joining Port Vale, probably in 1907. His first known game for the club was in a 4–2 home win over Hanley Town in a North Staffordshire Federation League Cup match on 25 January 1908, after one further appearance in the competition he departed, most likely at the end of the season.[1] He returned to nearby Stoke and in 1907 signed with Huddersfield Town, where he played one league game before joining Crewe Alexandra.[2]
