Jacob Miller is an Australian professional rugby league player who currently plays for the Wakefield Trinity (Heritage № 1348) in the Super League competition. He can play at halfback or five-eighth. He has previously played for Wests Tigers and Hull F.C.
Hailing from Ocean Shores, Miller played junior football with The Mullumbimby Giants, winning a premiership with the Giants in the under 18's competition in 2007. He was a student at Mullumbimby High School before he moved to Sydney and was a student at Matraville Sports High School when he was chosen as halfback for the Australian Schoolboys in 2009.
On a scholarship with the Sydney Roosters from age 14 onwards, Miller was released from the club as they had Todd Carney, Braith Anasta and Mitchell Pearce able to fill positions in the halves.
Miller made his debut with the Wests Tigers in round 4 of the 2011 NRL season, playing from the bench, and getting on the field with 20 minutes to go. He was only 18 at the time, and coach Tim Sheens said, "If you're good enough, you're old enough. And I think he's good enough." Two weeks later he made his first appearance in the run-on squad, playing as halfback in a match against the Gold Coast Titans, standing in for injured Robert Lui.
Besides NRL appearances, Miller played in the Wests Tigers' Toyota Cup team. He scored 5 tries and 128 points for the season, and was named as halfback in the competition's Team of the Year.
