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]
Middlesbrough
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 0–2 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 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.[17]
