Miller played for Gippsland Falcons, Essendon and Fitzroy, before his career was cut short by injuries in his early 20s.[2]
Writing in the Australian Times in 2013, Miller spoke of his playing career, "Having played football in Australia, I wanted to work at the highest level in football, which for me has always been the Premier League."[3]
In 2006, Miller moved to England to further his coaching ambitions, joining Fulham as a fitness coach in 2007.[4] He later appointed assistant technical coach,[3][5] before going on to serve as the coach of Fulham's U-21 team.[6][7]
When Ange Postecoglou was appointed head coach of Australia in late 2013, he took on a short-term role as an assistant coach.[8]
After nine seasons with Fulham, in June 2015, Miller was released by the club to pursue other opportunities.[9][10]
Soon after leaving Fulham, he was linked to the Newcastle Jets head coach role.[1] It was confirmed that he had penned a two-year deal with the club on 18 June.[11][12] The appointment of Miller made him the youngest head coach in the decade-long history of the A-League at just 33 years of age.[13] Miller was released from his position as head coach before the start of the 2016–17 A-League season.[14]
On 30 November 2016 Miller returned to Europe and joined Danish club Aalborg BK as an assistant coach, on a two-year contract.[15][16]
In October 2018 Miller joined the Fox Sports Hyundai A League team as a football analyst.
In August 2018, it was announced that Miller would be the head coach of NPL Victoria 2 club Langwarrin SC for the 2019 season.[17]
Miller grew up on the Mornington Peninsula.[18]
Miller possesses an AFC Pro Diploma, UEFA A-Licence, and also holds university degrees in sports science and psychology.[1]
In 2017, Miller created Identity Pro to support emerging players and coaches with the knowledge and experience he gained at the elite level during his 10 years in Europe.
