Ross Millen (born 28 September 1994) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a right-back for League Two club Morecambe.
Millen has previously played for Dunfermline Athletic, Livingston, Clyde, Queen's Park, Kilmarnock and Scunthorpe United and Raith Rovers F.C.
He is the son of former Ayr United, Kilmarnock, Alloa, Hamilton and St Mirren defender Andy Millen.
Millen made his Dunfermline debut against Hamilton on 2 February 2013,[2] having played for the Dunfermline U20s team alongside team-mate Shaun Byrne. After the Pars went into administration, Millen featured regularly in the first-team, and scored his first goal for the club, a penalty, against Forfar in the First Division play-offs on 11 May 2013.[3] Millen scored the winner in a 1–0 victory over rivals Raith in a Scottish League Cup match on Tuesday 5 August 2014. His other three goals all came from the penalty spot against Brechin, Forfar & Greenock.
After leaving Dunfermline at the end of the 2014–15 season, Millen signed for Scottish Championship side Livingston in July 2015.[4] Millen stayed with the side for only six months, leaving in January 2016 in order to seek regular first-team football.[5] Shortly after leaving Livingston, Millen signed a six-month contract with Clyde who he previously played for as a youth player.[6] At the end of his contract, Millen was released by the Cumbernauld side.[7] At the beginning of July 2016, Millen was signed by Scottish League Two side Queen's Park, with whom his father Andy Millen finished his playing career with.[8]
Millen signed a six-month deal with Kilmarnock in July 2018. He stayed at the club for just under 3 years before letting his contract expire in June 2021.[9]
On 6 July 2021, Millen joined League Two side Scunthorpe United, signing a two-year deal following his release from Kilmarnock.[10]
Millen signed for Raith Rovers on a two-year deal on 14 June 2022.[11] On 7 March 2024 it was confirmed that Millen was training on his own and would no longer be selected to play for the club due to an 'internal matter'. Manager Ian Murray confirmed that he would remain contracted to the club until his contract expires[12] and was not to be loaned to another team.
MIllen was one of 15 free agents that signed for League Two club Morecambe on 12 July 2024, after the club's embargo on registering new players was lifted.[13]
