Lewis Miller (born 24 August 2000) is an Australian professional soccer player who plays as a right back for Scottish Premiership club Hibernian and the Australia national team.[1]
Club career[edit]
Central Coast Mariners[edit]
In October 2019, Miller signed a scholarship contract with Central Coast Mariners, following a strong pre-season.[2] 3 months later, in January 2020, he signed a two-year contract, upgrading him to a professional senior contract.[3]
Hibernian[edit]
In June 2022 Miller signed a three-year contract for Scottish side Hibernian, effective from 1 July.[4] He had been due to join Australian side Macarthur FC, having signed a pre-contract deal with them before the end of his contract at Central Coast Mariners, but then signed for Hibernian instead, netting Macarthur FC an undisclosed transfer fee.[5]
International career[edit]
Miller was first called up to the Australian under-23 side in October 2021, for 2022 AFC U-23 Asian Cup qualification matches against Indonesia in Tajikistan.[6] He made his debut for the side against Indonesia on 26 October 2021, winning a penalty in a 3–2 win.[7] Miller was subsequently called up to the team for the final 2022 AFC U-23 Asian Cup in June 2022.[8]
He was selected by the senior Australian (Socceroos) team in October 2023.[9] Miller made his international debut on 13 October as a substitute against England at Wembley,[10] becoming the 635th Socceroo.[11] He made his first full appearance in the starting line-up on 16 November 2023 in a World Cup qualifier match against Bangladesh, in which his side won 7–0 at AAMI Park.[12][13]
On February 3, 2024, Miller gave away a penalty and a direct free kick against South Korea at the quarter-finals of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, with both set pieces leading to South Korea scoring; the game would end in a 1–2 loss.[14]
