Club career

Seattle Sounders FC

On January 15, 2015, Miller was drafted in the second round (33rd overall) of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft by Seattle Sounders FC. [9] Four days later however, Miller signed with German Regionalliga side SVN Zweibrücken where he made 10 appearances. [10] On July 9, 2015, Miller signed with USL club Seattle Sounders FC 2. [11] He made his debut three days later in a 4–0 victory over Arizona United SC. [12]

Miller missed the rest of the USL season while recovering from thumb surgery. [13] He signed a first-team contract with the Sounders at the end of the year. [13] While initially expected to be a bench player, Miller made his first-team debut in the second match of the 2016 season after starter Stefan Frei was ruled out with an injury. The team lost 2–1 to Real Salt Lake during the match, which was played on Miller's birthday. [14] His next match for the Sounders was a 2016 U.S. Open Cup match, also against Real Salt Lake, in which Miller made several saves to win a penalty shootout. [15] He played in two more U.S. Open Cup matches and was on the bench during the team's MLS Cup 2016 victory; Miller also played in several USL matches for Seattle Sounders FC 2. [16] He made one regular season appearance in 2017 but was later called up for a MLS Cup Playoff match against the Houston Dynamo, where Miller kept a clean sheet. [17]

Los Angeles FC

On December 12, 2017, Miller was selected by Los Angeles FC with the first selection in the 2017 MLS Expansion Draft. [18] On March 4, 2018, Miller debuted in a match against his former team, the Seattle Sounders. He made seven saves to keep a clean sheet as LAFC won 1–0. [19]

Miller went on to play in 33 matches for LAFC in their inaugural season, as Luis López was injured at the start of the year. He earned 10 shutouts in the regular season. [20]

Minnesota United

On January 16, 2020, Los Angeles FC traded Miller to Minnesota United FC in exchange for $150,000 GAM in 2020 and $50,000 TAM in 2021. The transaction included Minnesota signing Miller to a new contract through the 2022 season with a club option for an additional year. [21] On August 19, 2020, the club announced that Miller had undergone hip surgery and would miss the remainder of the 2020 season. [22] He later returned to the club as a starter for the 2021 season, but was later replaced in 2022 by Dayne St. Clair. [5]

He was first called up to the senior national team by Gregg Berhalter for a training camp in January 2019, along with other MLS players. [20] Miller was later named to the United States roster for the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup as a reserve player. [4] [28]
