In round 11 of the 2022 NRL season, Miller made his first grade debut for Cronulla and scored a try in the clubs 25-18 victory over the Gold Coast.[4] In round 21 of the season, Miller came off the bench and played in the centres, replacing Siosifa Talakai in the Sharks 24-18 win over the Dragons. In this game he managed a game high 6 tackle breaks.Miller played for Cronulla in their elimination final loss to South Sydney.[5]
In January, Miller was released from his Cronulla contract to sign a three-year deal with the Newcastle Knights.[6]
In round 1 of the 2023 NRL season, Miller made his Newcastle debut in the club's 12-20 loss to the New Zealand Warriors.[7] In round 3, Miller scored two tries for Newcastle in their 36-20 loss against the Dolphins.[8] Miller served as Newcastle’s primary fullback to start the season, and after five rounds he led the league in tackle-busts and was top-five in average run metres.[9] Despite his career-best form to start to the season, Miller later struggled to find consistency and by round 13 was relegated to a bench role as Newcastle star Kalyn Ponga returned to his familiar Fullback position.[10]
