Rotherham United sign Mickel Miller plus update on Lewis Price and Billy Jones

Miller becomes the first signing of the summer for Paul Warne’s Millers, who were promoted to the second tier following the abandonment of League One campaign due to the coronavirus.

The London-born attacker arrives at AESSEAL New York Stadium having been snapped up following the expiration of his deal north of the border with Scottish outfit Hamilton Academicals, with the club awaiting international clearance and ratification from the EFL and FA.

The 24-year-old has impressed with the Accies for whom he appeared 68 times in all competitions after signing in 2018.

Miller, who is most commonly deployed as a winger, is also capable of operating in central attacking areas and has a keen eye for goal, evidenced by him finishing as Hamilton’s top goalscorer in the 2018/19 campaign.

His footballing journey will have also further endeared him to first-team boss Warne, with Miller earning his stripes in non-league with Carshalton Athletic before making the switch to Hamilton and professional football in the Scottish Premiership at 22-years-old.

During his time with Carshalton, Miller was a regular amongst the goals and his form saw him caught the eye of several EFL sides. In 2017, he was signed up to the V9 Jamie Vardy Academy where he was involved whilst playing for the Robins.

Miller has joined up with his Rotherham United team-mates for the early stages of the club’s ‘pre-season’ testing at Roundwood.

The club are still in discussions with first-team duo Lewis Price and Billy Jones about the possible extensions of their stays at AESSEAL New York Stadium.
