Former Birmingham City attacker Amari Miller has been let go by Leeds United, four years after making the move to Elland Road as a teenager. Miller, who spent eight years at Blues before breaking into the first-team environment during Lee Bowyer’s time in charge, was handed his senior debut by Bowyer and featured in five Championship games. Despite starting two of those games, Miller ultimately decided to leave the club when Premier League Leeds United came calling during Marcelo Bielsa’s tenure. The deal was reportedly worth £1.5m to Blues, with only a portion being received up front. Miller signed a four-year contract with Leeds but did not make a single first-team appearance during that time. The winger made 32 appearances in various youth teams for Leeds and was involved in five EFL Trophy games, the most recent being in 2022/23. Leeds confirmed on their website that Miller, 22, was among a group of young players leaving the club, expressing their gratitude and wishing them well for the future.
Birmingham City’s priority in the summer transfer window should be to strengthen their squad after securing promotion back to the Championship with over 100 points. The team, led by Chris Davies, had a remarkable season in League One, clinching the title in style.
