Lewis Miller, born 24 August 2000, is a 24-year old Australian native who currently defends the Hibernian line as a right back. Standing at 6ft 1in (1.87m) tall, and carrying a robust weight of 13 stone (83kg), Miller has earned his place on the pitch, sporting the number 2 jersey with a blend of emotion and skill.
Miller's journey to Premiership football began in July 2017, joining Central Coast Mariners in the A-League in Australia. His inaugural season in 2018-2019 only saw him making a couple of league matches, a slightly unimpressive start. However, this debut performance did not deter our lad. The following season witnessed a phenomenal leap in his involvement, appearing in 17 league matches.
The 2020-2021 season at Central Coast Mariners saw Miller make a dozen league appearances, demonstrating his resilience, while the subsequent season was his highest-scoring yet, with Miller stepping up to the goal plate 21 times, and even managing to score a goal. His performances not going unnoticed, Miller was snapped up by Macarthur FC, another A-League stalwart in Australia, in July 2022.
Now here's where Miller's story becomes interesting for the fans of Hibernian. After his short stint with Macarthur FC, he transferred to the Scottish Premiership, joining our beloved Hibernian in July 2022, for an undisclosed fee. This was an opportunity for Miller to really make his mark in the world of football, and boy did he seize it. In his first season at Hibernian, Miller made 12 appearances in league matches, and the number increased to 21 in the following season, with two memorable goals to his name. He continues to fruitfully maintain his stride in the current season, with 14 appearances and a goal to date.
Mention must be made of Miller's cup pursuits; in the League Cup 2024-2025, he delivered two goals from five starts for Hibernian, and in the prior season's Scottish Cup, he made the starting line up once.
In conclusion, Lewis Miller, the robust Australian right-back, has swiftly ascended through the ranks of Australian football, and now leaves his mark on the Scottish Premiership, much to the delight of the Hibernian fans.
