By the time Amos transferred to Millwall in 1922, he had made 139 appearances and scored five goals for Brentford. He remained with Millwall for seven seasons and was an ever-present in the team which finished the 1927–28 season as Third Division South champions, which secured promotion to the Second Division for the first time in the club's history.
