Born in Islington, London, Millett played rugby for Guy's Hospital RFC and was fullback in the London Counties XV which were one of only three sides to defeat the touring 1912–13 Springboks.[1]
Millett's England opportunity didn't come until after the war when he was capped in a 1920 Five Nations match against France at Twickenham.[2] He was appointed captain of Richmond later that year.[3]
