Career edit
Miller made his professional debut for Gillingham against Wycombe Wanderers on 2 November 2010, at the age of 16.[3] Shortly afterwards, he was scouted and then linked with a move to various Premier League sides, most strongly Liverpool,[4] however a move never materialised.
Miller made his first start for Gillingham on 7 March 2012 in a home game against Barnet, and scored his first senior goal in Gillingham's 4–3 defeat to Crewe Alexandra three days later.[5] In October 2012, Miller signed on loan for Isthmian League Ramsgate, scoring the opening goal on his debut against Leatherhead in a 2–1 win.[6] In February 2013, he signed on loan for Isthmian League Division One South side Hythe Town and scored twice on his debut before half time.
On 4 March 2014, Miller had his contract at Gillingham cancelled.[7] He went on trial at Championship side Brentford in June 2014.[8] He later signed for Maidstone United.[9] prior to a move to Hythe Town on 29 September 2014.[10] On 12 January 2015, Miller moved to divisional rivals Folkestone Invicta[11]
On 31 May 2017, Miller rejoined Hythe for a nominal fee, despite being offered a new contract by Folkestone.[12]
On 9 December 2017, Miller made his Faversham Town debut in a 2–2 draw with Greenwich Borough after joining the Lilywhites from Hythe Town.
He re-joined Ramsgate in the summer of 2019, having scored 13 goals for Faversham during the 2018–19 season.[13] He returned to Faversham for a third spell in May 2023 following their relegation to the Southern Counties East Premier Division.[14]
In January 2024, Miller joined SCEFL Premier Division rivals Deal Town.[15]
