Peyton John Miller (born November 8, 2007) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a defender for Major League Soccer club New England Revolution.[2]
Professional career
[edit]Miller began training with the Revolution academy as a 13-year-old in April 2021.[3] On June 12, 2023, he signed a professional contract with the Revolution. He was 15 years and 216 days old, making him the youngest professional signing by the Revolution.[3]
Miller made his Revolution first team, and Major League Soccer, debut, on July 17, 2024, against the Philadelphia Union.[4] In doing so he became the second-youngest player to ever appear for the Revolution, behind only Diego Fagúndez.[4] He received MLS "Team of the Matchday" honors for week 28 following his performance in the Revolution's 1-1 draw against FC Dallas on July 20, 2024.[5]
Major League Soccer listed Miller as the 22nd best young player in the league on their annual "22 Under 22" list for the 2024 season.[6]
International career
[edit]On September 1, 2023, Miller was called up to the U.S. Under-17 Men's Youth National Team for the Václav Ježek Cup in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic. This was his fifth appearance for the U.S. Youth National Yeam, after previously being called up twice for the U-16s, once for the U-15s, and once before for the U-17s.[7]
On October 25, 2023, Miller was called up for the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Indonesia. He was the second-youngest player on the United States roster.[8] On October 4, 2024, Miller was called up as a forward for a pair of friendlies in Chile with the U.S. Under-20 Men's Youth National Team, where he was again one of the two youngest players at the camp.[9] He started the first of these two friendlies, on October 12, 2024.[10]
Personal life
[edit]Miller is from Unionville, Connecticut.[2] He grew up as a fan of the Revolution, and idolized Diego Fagundez, who was the club's youngest professional signing when he signed in 2010.[3]
