HAVE BOOTS, WILL TRAVEL.
It’s certainly been Liam Miller’s motto in recent years.
After leaving the UK in 2011, the midfielder has played for five different clubs across three different continents.
The 35-year-old spent three of those years in Australia before returning to his native Cork, where he played for one season.
But in January, he was on the move once more and headed across the Atlantic.
Wilmington Hammerheads are based in North Carolina and play in the United Soccer League – the third tier of professional soccer in North America.
He was made the team captain, made his debut in late-March and has played 15 times so far this season.
And finally, last night, he broke his duck.
Wilmington were in Florida, playing against Orlando’s second team and trailed 2-1 with just seconds left.
But Miller showed all of his experience as his side launched one, last attack. He perched himself on the edge of the area and conjured a superb finish when the ball fell to him.
The draw still leaves Wilmington five points from the play-offs with the regular season inching towards completion.

Nothing too spectacular about it, but Miller is a quality technically gifted player, pity he didn’t stay in cork for what could be a special year
It’s nice to see him still make a living out of football
Liam Miller never done too much while playing for Cork City.
I always got the impression that he had the attitude that he was too good to be playing for City.
Glad to see the back of him.
He was consistently technically superior to most around him though
Maybe stick to these types of article Eoin.. That United one you just done was awful..
Ahhh poor diddums
Better than the Paul Fennessy articles though.
Brutal
He had a good season at Sunderland under Roy keane. The start was a disaster and it looked like Sunderland would get relegated. Then keano arrived and sensationally they won the league. What a season that was. They really did come back from the brink.
If he had have stayed at Celtic for a year or two develop a bit more he could have been real quality. Cant blame him for moving when he did though.
I’m sorry but Miller added noting to the City team, always passed sideways or backwards and never looked to get forward, was not sorry to see him leave
