Coaching career

Millington played as a midfielder as a youngster, including a spell at Manchester City, but did not have a professional playing career. He then began his coaching career at Altrincham U18s before working at a number of clubs at both youth and first team level, including Curzon Ashton, Macclesfield and Stockport County. [1]

He then worked with Pete Wild in the Oldham Athletic academy after meeting whilst studying together for their UEFA A License. Millington was then appointed his assistant during Wild's two caretaker spells of the first team. [2]

In July 2019, Wild was named as the new first team manager of FC Halifax Town. The following month, Millington was announced as his assistant. [3] The pair worked together at the West Yorkshire club for three seasons until Wild moved to manage League Two side Barrow in May 2022. [4]

The day after Wild's departure, Millington was confirmed as his replacement as first team manager. [5] In his first season with the Shaymen, he led them to an 11th placed league finish and victory in the 2023 FA Trophy final at Wembley. [6]

Millington's second season as manager saw Halifax finish 7th in the league, qualifying for the playoffs. His side ultimately lost 4-2 in the quarter finals to eventual finalists Solihull Moors. [7]
