Zachary Louvaine Mills (born 28 May 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right-back for National League club Boston United.
Born in Peterborough, Mills played youth football with Boston United,[6] and began his senior career at Histon.
[14] He played 34 games in the 2016–17 season, which Grimsby ended in 14th-place after going through three managers in Paul Hurst, Marcus Bignot and Russell Slade.
[15][16] He was sent off for the first time in his career on the opening day of the 2017–18 season, in a 3–1 defeat at Chesterfield on 5 August, having received a second yellow card in the game following a clash with Kristian Dennis.
[18] He next started a league game in November, after Davies moved to left-back to cover for the suspended Paul Dixon.
[20] The Grimsby Telegraph reported that his name was one of the biggest surprises on Michael Jolley's 11 strong released list, as Davies was also let go to leave Reece Hall-Johnson as the only right-back remaining at Blundell Park.
[23] He scored his first goal in the EFL on 6 April, securing an important point in a 1–1 draw with relegation rivals Macclesfield Town.
[26] On 21 September, he provided two assists in a 3–1 win over former club Morecambe at Boundary Park, in what was Dino Maamria's first game in charge following the sacking of Laurent Banide.
[13] He scored on his debut for the club, a volleyed goal in an 2–1 win at Scunthorpe United in an EFL Cup game on 5 September.
[31][32] However, he was ruled out of action for four weeks after picking up a grade two tear in his hamstring in a 0–0 draw with Harrogate Town on 26 September; the game had seen Mills help the "Valiants" to keep their third consecutive clean sheet in the league.
[34] On 31 March, he was deregistered from the squad to make space for Harry McKirdy, after Mills picked up an injury which would keep him out of action for the rest of the 2020–21 season.
[40] On 5 August 2022, Mills returned to Boston United in the National League North, with manager Paul Cox saying "it was a no-brainer to bring him in".
