Ricky Miller
Ricky Howard Miller (born 13 March 1989) is an English former professional footballer who played as a striker.
Miller spent time in the youth systems at Charlton Athletic and Woking before making his senior debut with Stamford in September 2006. He went on to have brief spells with Cottesmore Amateurs, Bourne Town, Rothwell Town, Corby Town, Hitchin Town, Fleet Town, Spalding United, Boston United, Cambridge City, Aylesbury, Wealdstone, Hemel Hempstead Town, St Ives Town and Arlesey Town. In his fourth spell with Stamford, at the end of the 2012–13 season, he scored the winning goal in the Northern Premier League Division One South play-off final. Miller then found success during his second spell at Boston United and was named the Conference North Player of the Year for the 2013–14 season after scoring 24 goals in 40 league matches. He signed with Luton Town in June 2014, entering the Football League at the age of 25. Miller was loaned to Dover Athletic for part of the 2014–15 season before joining the club permanently in June 2015. He scored 45 goals in 46 appearances in the 2016–17 season, a record for the National League, and was named National League Player of the Year.
Miller returned to the Football League after signing a three-year contract with Peterborough United in May 2017. He joined Mansfield Town on loan in January 2018 and was sold on to Port Vale in June 2018. He left Vale 12 months into his two-year deal after his contract was terminated by mutual consent. Having spent 1+1⁄2 seasons out of the game, he signed with Aldershot Town in January 2021 before rejoining Dover Athletic five months later. He later played for Grantham Town and Risborough Rangers before embarking on a fifth spell with Stamford.
Born in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, Miller began his career with Charlton Athletic's youth academy. He later joined the Woking youth system, before signing for Stamford in September 2006. Miller made his debut on 19 September as a late substitute in the club's 2–1 home defeat to Lincoln United in an FA Cup first qualifying round replay. He joined Leicestershire Senior League Division One team Cottesmore Amateurs on dual terms, scoring twice on his debut, a 6–4 away defeat to Ashby Ivanhoe on 23 September. He then linked up with Bourne Town, again on a dual basis, making his debut on 18 October in a 4–0 home United Counties League defeat to Boston Town. Miller then agreed dual terms with Rothwell Town, spending the latter half of the season with the club and scoring his first senior hat-trick in their 3–0 Southern League Division One Midlands home victory over Bromsgrove Rovers on 6 March 2007.
Although offered terms by Stamford for the 2007–08 season, Miller instead chose to join Corby Town. He signed for Cambridge City in January 2010, after manager Gary Roberts was impressed with his record of 14 goals for Stamford in the first half of the 2009–10 season. Gordon Bartlett signed Miller for Wealdstone in October 2011 to play alongside target man forward Richard Jolly. He won a contract with former club Corby Town in August 2012, after scoring six goals during a pre-season trial.
Miller re-signed for Stamford for a fourth spell during the 2012–13 season and scored the winning goal in the play-off final against Chasetown to help the club win promotion to the Northern Premier League Premier Division. He then re-signed for Conference North club Boston United in June 2013, and finished 2013–14 with 46 appearances and 28 goals, as the club narrowly missed out on the play-offs with a sixth-place finish. He was named as the Conference North Player of the Year and was also named in the Team of the Year.
On 25 June 2014, Miller signed a one-year contract with League Two club Luton Town on a free transfer from Boston. On 2 September 2014, he joined Conference Premier team Dover Athletic on loan, before being recalled just over a month later after scoring five goals in ten appearances. Miller made his debut for Luton the following day in a 2–1 away victory over Hartlepool United. He scored his first goal for the club in a 4–2 FA Cup victory over Newport County, and this was followed up with his first Football League goal in the following match, a 1–0 win at home to Tranmere Rovers. Miller finished the 2014–15 season with 15 appearances and two goals for Luton.
On 30 June 2015, Miller joined Dover Athletic permanently on a two-year contract, following his release by Luton. His first goal for Dover came on 11 August in a 3–2 victory over Kidderminster Harriers at the Crabble Athletic Ground. In the space of a week, Miller scored in three consecutive matches in November, before scoring five goals in three matches from December to January. He scored the equaliser in a 1–1 draw away to Kidderminster Harriers on 23 April, a result that confirmed Dover's place in the play-offs. Miller played in both legs of Dover's play-off semi-final defeat to Forest Green Rovers, which finished 2–1 on aggregate, despite him scoring the opening goal in the second leg to level the tie. He finished the 2015–16 season with 22 goals in 54 appearances.
