Miller signed for Glasgow Warriors in 2021. He said of the move:[4]
I’ve heard really good things from the boys about the crowd here. Seeing all the games on TV with the Warrior Nation in full voice makes you want to make a good impression and hopefully it’s not too long before we get the chance to play in front of them. It’s a great pitch here - it really suits fast rugby and that in turn suits the way I enjoy playing.I love having the ball in my hands and attacking. I’m keen to work on my defence though with the coaches here and really bring those aspects further into my game. Hopefully I’ll get plenty of opportunity to run with the ball this season, and really enjoy the Glasgow style of play.
