Mills and Haysham reunited

John Mills and Pablo Haysham

Former Hereford FC striker John Mills has returned to Banbury United to be reunited with Pablo Haysham.

The 29-year-old was on loan there last season from Bath City, but failed to score in 13 appearances.

Mills subsequently dropped down to the Midland Football league Premier Division, where he played for Westfields; netting 10 goals in 14 appearances.

While playing for Bath, Mills only scored two goals in a Somerset Premier Cup match.

However, he says he has 'unfinished business' at Banbury and didn't do himself or the club justice last season.

"I’m determined to put that right this time round and score plenty of goals," said Mills, as reported on Banbury's official website.

"Promotion is the aim and I think it’s very much a realistic one this year with the current squad.”

Haysham - who formed a prolific partnership with Hereford during three seasons with the club - has also signed for Banbury after starring for Salisbury and Didcot last season.

"I’d like to welcome John back to the club and hope his stay with us will be a successful one," said Banbury manager Mike Ford.

"John spent a couple of months with us last season in what was his least successful spell in his goalscoring career. When you score over 200 goals in five seasons as he did you don’t become a spent force overnight and at 29 it was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down to get him back. I’m sure with all our support we will see the very best of John Mills.”
