Mills aims for promotion push

Last updated : 23 February 2009 By Matt Blanchard
The left-back joined United on a one month emergency loan deal and took the advice of Cork - who spent the whole of last season on loan at Glanford Park, before playing allongside Mills at the Saints this term - before making a decision.

"Cork, who was on loan at Southampton earlier in the season from Chelsea, told me how good a club Scunthorpe was. He had nothing but good things to say," Mills told the official website.

"Scunthorpe are flying high in the table, also with a couple of games in hand, and hopefully I can help them in their promotion push."

He also hopes that he can play a part at Wembley in the final of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy - something he regards as a "dream".

Mills started his career as a striker but was converted into an attacking left-back and started the season brightly before niggling injuries kept him out of the side.

"I want to get as many games under my belt as I can, play well and hopefully help them become a promotion team and put them back in the Championship - where they belong." he added.
