Club career

Born in Madrid, Milla joined Atlético Madrid's youth setup in June 2012, from CF Rayo Majadahonda.[1] He made his senior debut with the C-team in Tercera División during the 2013–14 season, before being loaned out to fellow league team UD San Sebastián de los Reyes on 17 January 2014.[2]

In July 2014, Milla signed for another reserve team, Rayo Vallecano B in Segunda División B.[3] The following 7 August he signed for Segunda División side AD Alcorcón, being immediately loaned to CD Guijuelo in the third division for one year.[4]

In September 2015, Milla suffered a severe knee injury,[5] returning to action seven months later.[6] On 17 July of the following year, he moved to fellow third division side CF Fuenlabrada also in a temporary deal.[7]

On 11 July 2017, free agent Milla signed a permanent four-year contract with Fuenlabrada.[8] On 28 November, he scored the opener in a 2–2 draw against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, scoring in the stadium 24 years after his father's last goal.[9]

On 19 January 2018, Milla signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with CD Tenerife in Segunda División.[10] He made his professional debut nine days later, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–0 home draw against Real Valladolid.
