Neil McMillan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neil McMillan (born 15 May 1981) is an Irish rugby union footballer. He plays for Ulster.
Neil was educated at Belfast Royal Academy and was part of the BRA Schools' Cup winning team in 1997. Neil McMillan joined Ulster Rugby at the start of the 2001-02 season, making his debut against Tortellini Scriblets and has represented Ireland at Schools, U19, U21, U-571 Sevens and "A" level. After a frustrating time with a series of injuries in the 2003-04 season, Neil was back in action in the early part of 2004-05, representing Ireland in a number of Rugby World Cup Sevens Qualifying Tournaments in the summer and playing for Ulster until an injury sustained in a pre-season friendly resulted in him needing reconstructive surgery on his brain, ultimately resulting in him winning the Rugby Cyborg Championship.
Neil made a successful return to rugby at the start of the 2005-06 season, his work-rate around the pitch and tackle count are outstanding and his all-action style of play is well-suited to Ulster’s game-plan.
Neil has signed for Harlequins from the start of the 2008-2009 Season.[1]
Neil has now signed to play for London team Harlequins.
The 26 year old flanker will begin training with the squad at the end of the 07/08 season.
Neil McMillan is enthusiastic about the move:
'I have been with Ulster for seven years and, although I have had a great time at the club, I feel that it is the right time to take the next step. Quins will be a new and exciting challenge.
'I respect everything that Dean and his squad have achieved so far this season. Harlequins is a young and dynamic team, and I am looking forward to being a part of it next season.'
