Hibs new boy Lewis Miller handed glowing reference as Australian journalist delivers inside track

Hibs new boy Lewis Miller has been handed a glowing reference from George Clarke of The Australian Associated Press.

Lee Johnson has had a busy summer so far with a number of additions coming through the Easter Road door.

David Marshall and Nohan Kenneh have both penned pre-contract agreements with Hibs while Rocky Bushiri has had his loan turned into a permanent stay.

Highly-rated Australian Miller has also penned a three-year stay with the option of a further season.

George Clarke has delivered the inside track on the full-back.

Speaking via the Hibs official website, he said: "Hibs have signed a tough, workmanlike right back who isn't afraid to go forward and get stuck in and the other end.

"He’s got an impressive range of passing from the back and isn’t afraid to take his man on one-on-one.

"He likes to overlap and can cross from deep or the byline.

"He’s still only 21 so his best years are ahead of him. He has been capped by Australia at under-23 level and the Central Coast Mariners, while a smaller club, have continued to produce some of the best young Australian talent.

"Miller is an out and out right back, although he has played on the right side of midfield on a few occasions earlier in his career.

"Given his height and ability to play what’s in front of him it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him move more centrally later in his career.

"The Australian national team is currently in a state of transition. Older heads will likely call time on their international careers after this World Cup qualification cycle and there’s every chance Miller will turn those under 23 caps into senior ones."
