Tammeka

Miller came through the Tammeka youth academy. He made his debut in the Meistriliiga on 20 May 2014, in a 0–6 home loss to Sillamäe Kalev. Miller scored his first Meistriliiga goal on 7 July 2014, scoring the winning goal in Tammeka's 2–1 away win over Narva Trans. He played in every match of the 2016 season, scoring three goals.

Flora

On 13 November 2016, Miller signed a three-year contract with Flora.[1] He helped Flora win the Meistriliiga title in 2017.[2] On November 25, 2021 he scored the goal that allowed Flora to beat Partizan Belgrade 1-0 in the fifth game of the 2021-22 UEFA Conference League group stage, which was historic because this meant that Flora became the first ever Estonian team to win a game in a UEFA group stage.
