Miller, from Melbourne's Mornington Peninsula, is like many younger coaches in Australia seeking a chance. In his case, in 2006 he traveled to London to further his career.

It paid huge dividends with the young Aussie eventually working for future England manager Roy Hodgson at Fulham, as well as Martin Jol and Mark Hughes.

Miller worked his way up in Fulham’s set up from the academy to the first-team fitness coach to a dual role of fitness/assistant coach at a club that was in the English Premier League for nine of those 10 seasons.

Fulham's Aussie later briefly in the Socceroos set up in late 2013 before being the head coach at Newcastle Jets, though he was sacked in 2016 after one season following the club’s change to Chinese owners.

Miller then became an assistant coach at Aalborg in Denmark in 2016/2017. It’s been an extraordinary 15 years for this young coach, with Fulham’s a key part of his resume. 

"It was always my intention to return to Australia at some point with the knowledge and experience I gained overseas and work at the elite level here in Australia,” says Miller, who keeps a close eye on Fulham's progress back in London as they push for a spot back in the EPL.

"I’m here to stay and I want to be a part of a leading Melbourne club.

"What’s important to me at present is working within a driven football department that is pioneering and committed to excellence with a positive culture, whilst really having a strong emphasis on developing young Australian talent for the future,” Miller added. 

To this end, he's also running his own academy (http://www.identitypro.com.au) based in Melbourne where young Victorians are reaping the benefits of his experience in three countries including a decade at Fulham FC. 

Miller added the ability to bridge the gap between NPL and A-League level is crucial. 

"Having a viable and competitive second division will provide not only further opportunity, but it will also create a much more entertaining and engaging product with the threat of relegation and the prospect of promotion for teams throughout Australia."
