Thomas William "Tommy" Miller (born 8 January 1979) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder.
He has previously played for Hartlepool United, Ipswich Town, Sunderland, Preston North End, Sheffield Wednesday, Huddersfield Town and Swindon Town.
Born in County Durham, Tommy was in the Ipswich Town youth system as a youngster but was released at 15 and went on to join Hartlepool United, where he signed his first professional deal. After 162 appearances and 44 goals in the old Division Three, he attracted the interest of several clubs and so left the club in 2001. Before joining Ipswich Town, Miller was close joining Norweigian side Brann in order to play in the Champions League Campaign on a three-month loan deal. However, Miller move to Brann was unlikely because FA rules state a player can only join a team outside of Britain for a minimum of three months.
He was signed back to Ipswich on 12 July 2001 by manager George Burley for £750,000. In his first season at Ipswich Town, Miller only made 8 appearance and his side was 18th place which resulted relegation to Football League Division One. On 1 November 2001, Miller made his European cup debut in the UEFA Cup against Swedish side Helsingborgs in a 3–1 win. On 25 November 2001, Miller made his league debut for the club in 0–0 draw against Middlesbrough after coming on as a substitute on a 75 minutes for Sixto Peralta. The following season, the club did play in the UEFA Cup again due to UEFA Respect Fair Play ranking where Miller was involved in the First Round against Smederevo and won 2–1 on aggregate.
