Mills's family migrated from England to New Zealand in 1873, sailing on the Berar.[3] A opening batsman, Ike Mills was one of Auckland's leading players in the 1890s.[4] His brothers Edward and George also played for Auckland.

Mills top-scored for Auckland in three consecutive matches in the 1893-94 season. In the second match, against Otago, he carried his bat for 88 not out in a team total of 156.[5] He played in New Zealand's first representative match later that season, against the touring Queensland team. He top-scored in each innings when Auckland played the touring Australians in November 1896, scoring 20 and 28, and was selected to play for New Zealand later that month, but he was unsuccessful in that match.[6] He toured Australia in 1898-99 in New Zealand's first overseas touring team, scoring 31 and 19 in the match against Victoria.[7]
