Bridget Millar-Mills took up rugby while at school and played at junior club level, putting her participation on hold while attending Reaseheath College. Having graduated in Equine Studies, she returned to rugby - playing for Manchester, then Waterloo - and was included in the Scotland squad in January 2012.

She initially took up rugby after her brother began playing and their younger sister followed. Brother Paul currently turns out for London Scottish and has represented Wales in sailing while sister Harriet plays back-row for England Women.

Bridget currently works in the family business with her Hamilton-born mum and dad, Paul - both parents are staunch supporters of all three children's sporting achievements.
