Miller joined the Bury youth set-up in April 2014.[5] He made his League One debut for the Shakers on 7 February 2016, coming on as a 60th-minute substitute for Reece Brown in a 3–0 defeat to Barnsley at Oakwell.[6]
He had a brief loan at Witton Albion, making two appearances and scoring one goal for the club.[7] On 29 October 2016, he scored his first goal for Bury in a 3–2 defeat against Northampton Town.[8]
On 14 July 2017, Miller signed a three-year contract with EFL Championship club, Middlesbrough, following a successful previous season with his former club Bury.[9] Miller went on to make his debut for his new club on 19 September 2017 in a 2–0 victory over Aston Villa in the third round of the EFL Cup, coming on as a late substitute for Ashley Fletcher at Villa Park.[10] On 5 December 2017, he signed for National League side Wrexham on a month-long loan, going on to make six appearances for the club.[11] On 19 January 2018, Middlesbrough announced that Miller would rejoin his former club Bury on loan until the end of the season, despite reported interest from Wrexham to resign their former loanee.[12]
On 16 July 2018, Bradford City announced that Miller had joined the club on loan for the 2018–19 season.[13][14]
On 31 January 2019 Miller was signed by Barnsley for a fee of £200,000 and immediately loaned back to Bradford City until the end of the 2018–19 season.[15] A few days later, he was announced as the winner of the December 2018 EFL Young Player of the Month award.[16]
Miller made his EFL Championship debut for Barnsley as a late substitute against Fulham on Saturday 3 August 2019 in a 1–0 win.[17] However, first-team opportunities remained limited and on 22 August 2019, it was announced Miller was heading out on loan again, this time joining League Two side Scunthorpe United on a season-long loan deal.[18]
Miller made just six substitute appearances for Barnsley in the 2020–21 season and on 31 August 2021 moved out on loan again, joining League Two side Walsall on a season-long loan deal.[19]
On 20 June 2022, Miller agreed to join Doncaster Rovers on a three-year deal following his release from Barnsley.[20]
