Career

In the 2007/8 season, Miller was Tynedale's top try-scorer as they won promotion to National Division Two.

Miller made his Newcastle Falcons first team début in 2008, in a man-of-the-match winning performance against Bristol. [4] In June 2010, Miller signed a three-year deal with Sale Sharks, [5] where he has made a number of appearances, earning man-of-the-match status in two games. [6] Sale had to compete with Bath Rugby for Miller's signature and Falcons had been keen to hang on to him. [7]

Miller has won England Caps at Under-16s, Under 18s and Under 20 levels, helping England Under-20 to the Grand Slam in 2008, and the final of the IRB Under-20s World Cup in Wales. [8]

In 2009, Miller appeared in the Under-20s World Cup final in Japan. [9]

On 6 February 2014, Miller signed for the Wasps from the 2014-15 season. [10]
