In May 2010 he was confirmed as new manager of Midland Football Alliance club Bridgnorth Town. However at the end of the 2010–11 season, Mills and his assistant Tony Dinning resigned from their posts at Bridgnorth Town, citing a wish to move on to a new challenge.
After missing out on the vacant management position at Stafford Rangers, Mills was instead appointed as assistant manager at Bridgnorth's league rivals Ellesmere Rangers. He quit the club in January 2012, due to other commitments.
