Mills won his first major international junior medal at the 2024 European Junior Championships as part of the British 400 free relay that took bronze. His 2025 season was the big break through though; at the British Swimming Championships in London in April, he swam 48.11 in heats of the 100 free to break the British Age Records for both 17 and 18 year olds. In the final, he finished 2nd behind his future training partner Matt Richards to qualify for the World Championships.
At that meet, he finished 28th in the 50 free and 23rd in the 100 free. He also swam a leg of the British 400 free relay in both prelims and finals. He led off in 48.51 in the final as Britain finished 4th.
