One of the best forwards in South Australia during the early years of the twentieth century, Miller, who gloried in the nickname 'Darky', took on 'Bos' Daly's mantle when that player was compelled, because of the newly introduced electorate rule, to move to South Adelaide. He went on to top Norwood's goal kicking list on seven consecutive occasions from his debut in 1899 to 1905. He retired after the 1910 season, having also topped the league's list of goal scorers in 1901 and 1904 with 44 and 35 goals respectively. In 1912 he resurfaced briefly with Sturt, where he added half a dozen league appearances to the unknown, but almost certainly three figure number he had managed with the Redlegs. 'Darky' Miller represented South Australia on 9 occasions, kicking 8 goals.
