Ian Miller (born November 23, 1983 in Colchester) is an English footballer, currently playing for Darlington. He is a defender.

[edit] Career

Miller was signed by Ipswich Town on September 22, 2006 for a nominal fee, thought to be around £5,000, from Isthmian League Division One North side Bury Town.[1]

Miller joined League Two side Boston United on a month-long loan in November 2006.[2] This loan at Boston United was extended until January 2007.[3] He then joined another League Two side, Darlington, on a month's loan in February 2007.[4] The loan was extended until April 2007,[5] but Miller was recalled in late March to cover for injuries in Ipswich's squad.[6] He made his sole appearance for Ipswich on 31 March 2007, as a subsititute for Jonathan Walters in their Championship fixture against Plymouth Argyle.

Miller agreed a new one year contract with Ipswich in June 2007 and subsequently re-joined Darlington on an initial month's loan.[7][8] It was extended until January 2008, and on 11 January 2008 Miller joined Darlington permanently on a free transfer, signing an 18 month contract.[9]

On 10 May 2008, Miller came on as an 87th minute subsitute in the League 2 play-off semi-final first leg between Darlington and Rochdale, replacing the injured Alan White. With the game tied at 1-1, Miller rose to head a 92nd minute winner from a Neil Wainwright free-kick, to give Darlington a priceless lead heading into the second leg.
