K. Miller is a 29-year-old central defender at Portland Timbers, rated 27.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 334th of 520 on scout potential in the Major League Soccer. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (65.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.4 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Miller.

Judged on this season alone, Miller graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 60th of 105 of the 105 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer, on 5 clean sheets and 2.402 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 17 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 28, 61st of 105 of the 105 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 29 Miller is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.
