Mills,John

John Mills (born 20th March 1990 - 34 years old) is a prolific striker who joined Hereford FC in July 2015 from Didcot Town

Career
John started his career with Old Woodstock Town, before moving to Abingdon United, and then North Leigh, before joining Didcot Town in September 2013 - forming a prolific partnership with Pablo Haysham.

With Didcot, John made 92 appearances and scored 79 goals, at Southern League Division One level - in 2014/15, John managed a phenomenal 57 goals. During the course of the season, John turned down an approach from Hereford United.

Hereford FC
John made his competitive debut with Hereford FC on the opening day against Dunkirk - scoring a hat-trick in a 4-1 victory, this was followed by a couple of quite games for John where he failed to score.

Single goals against Rocester and Coleshill Town were followed by a 2nd Hereford FC hat-trick away at Heanor (including 2 penalties). Starting with Shepshed Dynamo on the 19th September, John scored 11 goals in 10 days (4 matches - 2 against Shepshed, 4 against Lye Town, 2 against Boldmere St Michaels, and a further 3 against Walsall Wood).

John got his 20th goal for Hereford FC against Bardon Hill Sports on the 3rd October - after playing 13 games.

On the morning of the 10th October it was confirmed that John had become the first player to sign an official contract with Hereford FC - all previous players had signed registration forms. This meant that any approach from other clubs would involve an official approach and most likely a cash transfer fee, unlike the normal 7 day approach that applies to contracts at Midland Football League level. John celebrated by scoring the only goal of the game later that afternoon in a 1-0 win over Long Eaton United.
