Moving to Vancouver as a youth, Miller began his professional playing career as an 18 year old, joining the Toronto Blizzard of the NASL in 1982. After playing 23 games over three seasons with the Blizzard, Miller joined Scottish giants Rangers, where he spent the 1984-85 and 1985-86 seasons, appearing in four first-team games.
