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]
