Now in North America's third tier, Liam Miller conjured a memorable moment yesterday

The 35-year-old signed for Wilmington Hammerheads earlier this year.

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.
