Gary Leonard Mills (born 20 May 1981) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder. He was assistant manager at Wrexham until 31 March 2015. He was appointed the new manager at Rugby Town in May 2015 but left after a poor start to the season. He was player/coach at King's Lynn Town after his appointment in May 2016 before later being offered an opportunity to take over the hotseat at Corby Town as player/manager in October 2016.
Born in Isle of Sheppey, Mills began his career with Coventry City before joining Rushden & Diamonds in their youth system on 21 July 1997. His debut for the club, at the age of 17, came on 22 December 1998 in a Conference League Cup game away to Farnborough Town. He went on to make 16 league appearances during the 1999–2000 season, being named in the starting line-up 8 times.
The following season, Mills was part of the Rushden squad that secured promotion to the Football League after winning the Football Conference, playing in 2 league games.
Although expected to battle against relegation, the Rushden team of 2001–02 exceeded expectations by reaching the Third Division play-off final, though they lost to Cheltenham Town. During this time, Mills was still used as a fringe player, only playing 2 games.
The Diamonds continued to impress in the league, finishing first in Division Three and winning promotion the next season. Mills established himself as one of the club's first choice midfielders, playing in 30 league games. Likewise, in the next campaign, Mills played a further 30 games, though the club had far less success as they were immediately relegated back to Division Three. He did, however, score his first goal for the club that season in a 2–1 victory over Tranmere Rovers.
