A versatile player, Milner has played in multiple positions, including on the wing, in midfield and at full-back.
After Leeds United were relegated at the end of the 2003-04 season, Milner was sold to Newcastle United.
Milner went on to make over 100 appearances for Newcastle United, winning the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2006, and spent a year on loan at Aston Villa, before signing for Aston Villa permanently in 2008.
Graeme Coulson, a coach from Rawdon, recognised Milner's talent and persuaded him to play for Rawdon in several tournaments, including a tournament at Rawdon Meadows, where Milner scored four goals in their victory in the final.
Milner believed playing with Smith put him through a learning curve, as Smith had done what Milner aspired to do in coming through the academy and playing for the first team.

Villa manager David O'Leary, who had managed Milner at Leeds, was happy to acquire Milner in this deal, saying that he believed Villa got the better of the deal and that he hoped to improve him as a player.
Rumours began to spread that he would be sold during the transfer window in January, although both Milner and Roeder dismissed these rumours.

Milner said later in the year that he was happy about his future at the club and its new manager, saying that the training sessions were "The best since I have been here".

As a result, Milner played mainly as a substitute in the early part of the season.
Allardyce praised Milner during the season, saying he was "a hugely experienced Premier League player".
After missing the final nine matches of the season due to a foot injury, it was rumoured in May 2008 that Milner would be part of a transfer between Newcastle and Liverpool.
