In April 2014, Miller played William in the BBC production of Jamaica Inn. Miller joined the cast of Scott & Bailey, in late 2013, as series regular Rob Waddington.[4] He appeared in the series until 2014.

In April 2014, Miller agreed to return to Emmerdale and reprised his role as Aaron Livesy later that year.[5] His return scenes aired on 14 August 2014.
