Mills played 124 games for Carlton after debuting in Season 1950. He was recruited from South Bendigo and kicked 128 goals for Carlton at a strike rate of over one per game.

Unfortunately Jack's career coincided with one of the leaner periods in Carlton's history - in fact, he would only play in one finals match in his whole career with the Blues (1952 1st Semi Vs Fitzroy).
