After leaving Dunfermline at the end of the 2014–15 season, Millen signed for Scottish Championship side Livingston in July 2015. [4] Millen stayed with the side for only six months, leaving in January 2016 in order to seek regular first-team football.

[6] At the end of his contract, Millen was released by the Cumbernauld side. [7] At the beginning of July 2016, Millen was signed by Scottish League Two side Queen's Park, with whom his father Andy Millen finished his playing career with. [8]
