Despite having yet to agree terms on a new contract he was invited back to pre-season training with York,[31] before re-signing on non-contract terms on 1 July 2011.[32] He suffered a foot injury during a 1–1 draw with Garforth Town in pre-season on 11 July 2011, which required an X-ray.[33] By October 2011, Mills was looking to loan McDermott out in order for him to play regular first team football.[34]
