Milward began playing soccer at the college level for the Toronto Varsity Blues, and was named to the 2nd All-Canadian team in 2006. During his tenure at Toronto he completed a degree in Fine Art and History. In 2006, he began his professional career by signing with Italia Shooters of the Canadian Soccer League.
