Career

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]
